Today's multi-modal, participatory exhibitions and attractions are
bound by a desire to convey information, excite the viewer and
create social and narrative experiences. Without design at the helm
and employed effectively, these experiential moments would not
become lasting memories that inform and inspire an increasingly
sophisticated audience. This full-color illustrated handbook, based
on the author's research and expertise as an exhibition designer,
educator, and critic, is the first title to simultaneously
explain how to design exhibitions and attractions successfully;
contextualize contemporary exhibition design practice through
its historical and theoretical underpinnings; elevate
understanding of one of the most rapidly evolving and
trans-disciplinary creative disciplines; illuminate exhibition
design's contributions to the expanding global market for civic,
cultural, commercial and entertainment experiences; and reframe
the exhibition design process using a set of recurring tropes and
the methods they employ, making this book distinct from other
practice-based, museological or commercially-driven titles. This
full-color book with over 250 photographs and drawings uses
real-world examples, museum and exhibition design studio profiles,
historical and contemporary voices, and draw on the author's own
creative practice and exhibition making experience, as well as
contributions from his extensive network of international museum,
attraction, and design professionals. The author introduces a new
methodology for understanding exhibition and experience design. One
that elevates understanding of one of the most rapidly evolving and
trans-disciplinary creative disciplines. Twelve easy-to-follow
illustrated chapters introduce a set of reoccurring exhibition
design conventions or "tropes" that are omnipresent in exhibition
making and can be used to chart a new methodology for understanding
exhibition design and its process.
