Module Indicative Content
Throughout this Exhibition Design Module, you will examine two main exhibition design formats:
a) The Commercial Trade Exhibition Stand format
b) The role of the designer within permanent public gallery spaces and interpretive installations.
The Module provides an overview of those interior design issues particularly relative to exhibition design, namely:
- Public access - emotional, physical and intellectual
- Enhanced participation - public engagement with the built environment
- People management - space allocations and visitor flow
- Exhibit media - getting the message across through design
Examination of a broad variety of exhibition types including, trade event stands, gallery exhibitions and museum displays as well as the requirements of different types of clients.
The module continues to build on your knowledge and understanding and introduces you to the development of interpretation and management within the built environment including local and overall atmospheric conditions, sound and light levels. You will also consider the following conceptual frameworks:
- Museums and galleries are dependent on curatorial content therefore material collections and artefacts of interest to historians, anthropologists and the visiting public are revealed and on display
Visitor centres are not bound by such conventions and can remain free of specific material collections and artefacts and concentrate on pure experience-based attractions
