Abstract

Hall of Fame Museum | 7



Home to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indiana is known worldwide as the racing capital of the world. Over 100 years ago, Indiana had over 150 automobile manufacturers including Duesenberg, Packard, and Studebaker. The famed oval has historically been a proving ground for the consumer automotive industry. The oval was first constructed to be a test track for the local manufacturers, as the road conditions were unacceptable. Housed within the confines of the Speedway is the current Hall of Fame Museum. The museum showcases all of the Indy 500 winner’s cars and allows visitors to see how racing technology has evolved over time. However, the museum fails to embody the spirit of the track. More so, it is currently suffering the fate of many modern museums; a lack of display space as the collection continues to grow. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, similarly to many other museums, currently displays their artifacts in a linear timeline fashion. The drawback to this method is simple; what do you do once you run out of space but the

timeline continues to move forward? How do you allow visitors to continue to enjoy the newest portion of the collection without simply building an addition? Is there a new way of thinking about how to organize the content of a museum and can the architecture also evolve with this new way of thinking? I propose a project where all these questions can be answered. As the ever-continuing timeline moves forward so can the organization of the artifacts. In close examination to this timeline, many connections and links can be seen throughout history. These connections not only link aspects throughout the timeline, but they begin to speak to how artifacts can be organized, displayed, and experienced. In my proposal, the spaces in the museum begin to allow for these connections. With this new organizational technique, the museum can change and evolve just as the timeline does. The new museum is not only a museum of history; it is a museum for the future. The future of racing. The future of Indiana. Hall of Fame Museum | 9

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway the racing capital of the world The Indianapolis Motor Speedway was constructed in 1909 and was originally designed as a testing facility for the local automobile manufacturers. Carl Fisher, an entrepreneur at the time, saw a need for the rapidly growing automobile industry around central Indiana. “Indiana roads were generally not yet developed, and automotive technology had increased so rapidly that many passenger vehicles had become capable of greater speeds than any dirt road would permit” (“Ownership,” 2013). Fisher joined with local businessmen James Allison, Arthur Newby and Frank Wheeler. Together, all 4 men began to search for available land outside of Indianapolis. After a ride about 5 miles northwest of the city, they found four 80-acre tracts of land available for sale. Within a short time the land was purchased and the process began to construct the new test track. A civil engineer from New York, P.T. Andrews, was brought to it to look at the proposed design. “Andrews suggested an outer track of 2.5 miles would fit perfectly. The road course section was abandoned soon after grading began

at the site in march 1909, leaving the 2.5 miles that became the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, The Greatest Race Course In The World” (“Ownership,” 2013). The first race to occur at the newly created track was actually not with automobiles, but instead with hot air balloons, see Figure 5-4 for an example. The track was purchased in 1927 by American World War I flying ace Captain Eddie Rickenbacker. Rickenbacker was a regular participant in the balloon race the track had become famous for. Due to America’s involvement in World War II, the track closed and fell into disrepair between 1942 and 1945.

Tony Hulman purchased the track from World War I American flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker after World War II ended. To this day, the track remains under Hulman family control, with the current chairman being Mari Hulman George. Being the daughter of Tony Hulman, she grew up with racing being a constant part of her life. Her three daughters also currently serve on the Speedway board, continuing the family legacy. Figure 5-3 A 1909 advertisement attracting attention to the new testing and racing track. (Otis, Indianapolis motor speedway, greatest race course in the world)

As a part of the Hulman families vision for the track, many different racing events have been added to the growing list of races. NASCAR was first introduced in 1994, and the Brickyard 400 is now one of the largest events in the NASCAR series. From 2000-2007, Formula One returned to America. While it was only for a few years, the United States Grand Prix allowed Americans to experience a different type of open wheel racing. From 2008-2009, MotoGP made an appearance in the famed oval. Many found this a fitting return, as the first motorized race in the track was with motorcycles in 1909. Looking to what is coming next, the Hulman family is planning for the future of racing. With the city of Speedway proposing and starting a re-development initiative, the entire city is preparing for the future and what it can bring. Discussions and plans are in place for a renovation or an addition to the current Hall of Fame Museum. The current staff is excited and eager to learn and hear ideas for a future museum design.

The Bombardier Pagoda The Bombardier Pagoda is arguably one of the most recognizable structures within the grounds of the Speedway. The current Pagoda started construction in 1998 and was designed by Browning Day Mullins Dierdorf Architects in Indianapolis, Indiana. “It has nine tiers or viewing levels and reaches a height of 153 feet, equal to a 13-story building” (“Pagoda,” 2013). The Pagoda is not only used for viewing the track, but actually houses race control facilities, safety, timing and scoring, and radio broadcast booths. As seen in Figure 5-5, the structure has taken on many different forms throughout the life of the track. Carl Fisher, the original builder of the track, had the first Pagoda built in 1913. The day after the race in 1925, it burnt to the ground

(“Pagoda,” 2013). A replacement structure was erected shortly after that stood until the second half of the 20th century. When Tony Hulman purchased the track after World War II, he began to modernize both the track and all facilities within its grounds. It was at this time that a steel and glass tower was constructed. This version of the Pagoda stood until 1998 when the present structure was constructed. The Pagoda is built directly on the start and finish line. A portion of the famed brick travels under the structure and re-emerges on the back side in the Pagoda Plaza. “Behind the new Pagoda tower is the Pagoda Plaza area, a focal point for spectators who wish to take a break from viewing the on-track action. The Pagoda Plaza is fully landscaped with grass and a brick walkway shaped like the oval. The area is an ideal location for spectators and families to relax” (“Pagoda,” 2013).

Figure 5-7 The Hall of Fame Museum’s main entrance.


The Hall of Fame Museum a museum devoted to automobiles and auto racing The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum is located within the grounds of the track. The first museum was constructed in 1956 by the late Tony Hulman. At the time, the original facility was only large enough to display a few of their historic race cars. In 1975, Hulman decided to build a much larger facility to house the growing collection of race cars and other racing memorabilia. The new facility houses about 75 vehicles that are on display at all times.

20

“Constructed of pre-cast cement and Wyoming quartz, the facility encompasses 96,000 square feet of museum and administrative office space. Museum display space measures approximately 30,000 square feet. A glass canopy above the main display floor provides year-round natural light” (“Hall of fame,” 2013). In addition to housing the race cars from the past races, the museum showcases many other automotive related artifacts. The facility Figure 5-8 Inside the current museum’s West wing. owns more than


400 different cars that are a part of the Hulman family’s private collection. As seen in Figure 5-8, the collection includes many cars that represent Indiana’s rich history in the automobile industry. The famed Borg-Warner is also showcased as visitors enter in the museum’s doors (“Hall of fame,” 2013). As the name states, the facility also showcases the racing hall of fame. The current design incorporates photos or drawings of all Figure 5-9 Inside the current museum’s East wing. living members along with

inscriptions of all the members that have passed. While the museum has an annual visitor amount of about 200,000, most of the attendance happens during the month of May coinciding with the race season. Many different educational curriculum incorporate the museum into their teaching. Student groups are a common occurrence within the museum. The facility occasional caters to private parties, but a majority of the attendance occurs from daily visitors.

21


Discussing The Current Museum an interview with ellen bireley Ellen Bireley is the current Director of the IMS Hall of Fame Museum. During an interview, she spoke of the normal attendance schedule the museum receives. “We average about 200,000 visitors a year. About one third of that attendance occurs during the month of May while another majority is in June and August when schools are on break” (Bireley, 2013).

“Our cars are very sensitive to sunlight. If you move one of the leather straps holding an engine cover on, you will see just how much the paint has faded,” Bireley mentions (Bireley, 2013). It is important to note that the current museum does feature a large skylight that divides the East and West wings.

Due to the fact that the museum was built in the 70’s, and with the growing collection of cars, the facility is literally running out of space. “When I walk through the exhibit, I feel like I am in a parking lot,” Bireley speaks about how she feels of the current facility (Bireley, 2013). The museum actually owns more than 400 cars but only has the capability to display roughly 75 at one time.

Ellen is interested in getting the public more involved in the other facets of the museum, “Many museums are now allowing visitors to experience a full restoration process. We do restorations in our facility, but no visitors get to see them” (Bireley, 2013). Besides allowing visitors to experience a restoration she wants them to experience the race cars in new ways.

Moving the cars is also an issue within the current facility. The majority of the collection is stored in the basement. With the only access being a loading dock and a door at the far corner of the first floor, moving cars can only occur during optimal weather conditions. “We either have to wait for it to be nice enough or load the cars in a trailer for the trip around the building. It is a real pain” (Bireley, 2013). That being said, the current facility rotates cars about every 6 months with large rotations happening every one to one and a half years.

The museum is exploring ideas to build additions to their current facility to allow some of these ideas to come to fruition. LEED is an important consideration that will take place throughout this process. The speedway itself is having a solar farm installed close to turn 3 in the near future. As the future becomes the present, the Hall of Fame Museum is ready to move into what is to come.

Porsche Museum Delugan Meissl Associated Architects Stuttgard-Zuffenhausen, Germany

The Porsche Museum in Germany is a facility designed not only to showcase the history of the brand, but to showcase the brand itself. The designers set out to design a building that “reflects the authenticity of Porsche products and services as well as the company’s character, while also reshaping Porscheplatz with an unmistakable appearance,” (“Porsche museum,” 2013). At first glance the exhibition space seems to be detached from the folded topography below; this was in fact a goal of the designers. They wanted to open the space between the streetscape and the exhibition. This was achieved by not only separating the two areas, but also by placing reflective material on the underside to allow more light to enter the created spaces. “Here, speed and passion find their spatial equivalents and can be impressively retraced in the sensual experience. Experience and the opportunity to experience were the primary design parameters through respective spatial allocations in the basic architectural concept,” (“Porsche museum,” 2013).

Figure 6-2 The Porsche Museum was designed by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects in Germany. (“Porsche museum,” 2013)

The entire design is based no only on the cars housed within, but is also based on the experience the cars give to their users. This experience is reflected within the design and was an important aspect from the very beginning of the design process. Hall of Fame Museum | 27


Thematic Islands The architect of the Porsche Museum developed a concept of thematic islands to display the automobiles. “The presentation area of each island is defined by stainless steel tracks which are mounted flush into the floor and which are used for the fixing of such exhibition elements as panels of text, screens and floor markings,” (Merz, 2010). A simple diagram can be seen in Figure 6-4 on page 29. Not only does this system allow for visitors to quickly and easily understand where the exhibits are located, it also allows for quick changes to the vehicles on display. When an exhibit is changed, all the appropriate signage can be swapped out as easily as the vehicles themselves. The stainless steel tracks pull reference to

the starting grid race cars use at the beginning of each race. Due to the fact that these island are located on floor level, visitors are welcome to experience the car from all angles. While this does open opportunity for new experience, visitors can easily distinguish where exhibit begins and walkway ends. These thematic island are often associated with other methods of display information. Most are associated in a “triad” which is discussed in the next section. Figure 6-3 Here, the stainless steel track can be seen that defines the thematic islands. (“Porsche museum,” 2013)


Figure 6-4 A diagrammatic explanation of the thematic island approach to displaying the cars. (Merz, 2010)


The Display Triad Each thematic island is not only an individual island of learning, it is an island associated with a triad of information. These triads “offer the visitor various levels of information and details, tailored to their level of prior knowledge and intersect. The visitor who knows little of the subject is offered an insight into a wealth of fascinating exhibits and stories in which the expert visitor will also find a rich seam of more complex information and previously unknown connections,” (Merz, 2010). As the visitors travel along the product history wall, they approach a reference exhibit. As seen in Figure 6-6 on page 31, this example uses the exhibit of lightness. The reference exhibit showcases a few cars that begin to speak of the design concept of lightness.

The visitor then approaches a display case which again showcases the concept previously introduced in the reference cars. Directly after the display case is a speaking image, which showcases further the idea first introduced in the reference with unique display elements. As a visitor looks behind them, a thematic island demonstrates all the ideas previously discussed in the triad. The entire museum is composed of this concept to easily guide guests through its exhibits. Figure 6-5 Modern cars are displayed in a “break-away” fashion to better describe the automotive technologies. (“Porsche museum,” 2013)


Figure 6-6 Here, it can be seen how the visitor experiences an exhibit utilizing the triad method. (Merz, 2010)

Figure 6-8 The BMW Welt designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au in Munich, Germany. (“Bmw welt,” 2013)


BMW Welt Coop Himmelb(l)au, architect Munich, Germany

Since its construction in 2007, the BMW Welt has been considered to be the heart of the German automaker. The BMW Welt, or BMW World in English, serves as “the delivery center for new BMW automobiles and a brand experience rolled into one” (“Bmw welt,” 2013). The building is not only home to the BMW Group but also serves as the home to its four brands: BMW, MINI, Rolls Royce Motor Cars, and Husqvarna Motorcycles. “The Junior Campus at BMW Welt gives young visitors an introduction to the world of mobility and is a place they can explore with zeal,” (“Bmw welt,” 2013). The facility prides itself on giving young people a place to not only learn about BMW automobiles, but a place to learn about the art of design. “The design is characterized by high-quality materials, clear shapes and brightly shining colours typical of BMW. It provides the perfect setting in which to showcase technologies, engine construction, the design process and the current BMW models” (“Bmw welt,” Figure 6-9 2013). The BMW Welt concept designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au in Munich, Germany. (“Bmw welt,” 2013)

Hall of Fame Museum | 35


The Educational Concept A key concept of the BMW Welt is integrating education into a young guest’s experience. Young children are given insight into “mobility, sustainability, safety, the environment, vehicle technology and design” (“Bmw junior program,” 2013).

The available workshops allow children to learn and explore what makes a car move. They can also learn about recycling and designing with sustainablity in mind. There is even a workshop that utilizes photography to demonstrate the history of automobile construction and technology (“Bmw junior program,” 2013).

Children are given the opportunity to receive the education through multiple available workshops. These workshops are divided into ago appropriate subject matter that is closely linked to current school curricula (“Bmw junior program,” 2013). These workshops are closely linked to age-specific museum tours. Figure 6-10 Multiple levels allow visitors to experience the automobiles from unique and altering angles. (“Bmw welt,” 2013)

36


Energy Efficiency At first glance visitors may not notice the amount of sustainable technology located on and within the BMW Welt, but it is actually a technological innovation. The now iconic Double Cone helps to provide some of the main structural support for the “cloud roof”. This cloud roof is home to “an impressive flat roofintegrated PV system made up of 3,660 solar modules,” (Kriscenski, 2007). This system alone can deliver a minimum of 824kWp (kilowatt-peak). With this system installed, it is estimated that it can reduce the energy demands by about 30%.

“A major goal in designing the systems was to save energy. This aim is achieved by minimizing the mechanical apparatus for ventilation, heating and cooling,” (“Bmw welt /,” 2009). This concept is proven in the main Hall space, where it is naturally ventilated and does not follow standard logic of heating and ventilation. “A natural air supply is generated by thermal currents, wind pressure and turbulences...Air intake and outflow take place through automatically controlled vents” (“Bmw welt /,” 2009).

Figure 6-11 The cars are displayed on raised pedestals that allow invite visitors to step up and experience the designs. (“Bmw welt,” 2013)

Literature Review

Hall of Fame Museum | 39



Learning from and with museum objects: design perspectives, environment, and emerging learning systems Henriikka Vartiainen | Jorma Enkenberg This article studies the connection between the museum and the education field. The authors begin by discussing the disconnect between what the current education systems want to achieve and how they actually go about achieving it. “Current education systems tend to anchor learning in formal environments, mostly in classrooms and with textbooks,” (Vartiainen & Enkenberg, 2013). They go on to mention “while the overall goal of schooling is to prepare young people to be able to participate responsibly and productively in society, the actual practices through which schooling takes place contradict with the practices that exist beyond the school walls,” (Vartiainen & Enkenberg, 2013). This learning, the authors believe, most often occurs at museums and science centers. They believe this is due to the fact that the facilities provide a physical environment that is not usual in daily life (Vartiainen & Enkenberg, 2013). However, they discuss that even with advances in

technology and museum design, the museum visit itself has not changed. This is due to the fact that many visits are not planned ahead and little preparation is made. “Consequently, a typical museum visit is organized as a structured, docent-directed, and lecture-oriented tour,” (Vartiainen & Enkenberg, 2013). Their research has found that there is a pressing need “to provide teachers and museum staff with viable alternatives to their current ways of conducting school excursions, and to apply more student-centered approaches that allow active learning,” (Vartiainen & Enkenberg, 2013). What can be taken away from this article is the importance of how students interact with the museum. This can bet taken as how they interact with the exhibits but also how they interact with the museum itself. It is possible that the facility needs to adapt to the variety of visitors.

Building Type Basics for Museums Arthur Rosenblatt This book is a go-to guide of information for architects regarding museum design. It is part of a series of books that gives essential information that is designed to be used throughout the design process (Rosenblatt, 2001).

typology. Due to the nature of learning history, many of these museums feature education and classroom facilities. They also feature many cinemas and viewing rooms to show historical documentation.

While this book is broken into specific museum typologies, general information can be taken from each section and later applied to better create a holistic design. A very common theme amongst the art museums is to utilize natural lighting while balancing the light to not disrupt the delicate works (Rosenblatt, 2001). This careful balance is often achieved by the use of special films/ substrate installations or sensor regulated louvers.

One of the most interesting typologies is the science and natural history museums. With science and technology being a very fast changing field, these facilities need “to anticipate and integrate fast-changing scientific discoveries into the new center,� (Rosenblatt, 2001). Multimedia also tends to play a crucial role in this type of museum.

While most of the art facilities are larger, they all seem to utilize specific wayfinding techniques. Some of these include a new trend of automated sound tracks with headphones. All art museums also seem to feature some sort of cafe or food service facility (Rosenblatt, 2001).

This book also incorporates a technical note chapter with important information that must be analyzed during the design process. These aspects include notes on: lighting, entrances, galleries, illumination levels, lamp types, MEP information, security, and fire protection. The information presented here will be closely looked at in the design of this project.

Design factors can also be taken from the history museum Hall of Fame Museum | 43

Figure 8-1 Graphic representation of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The oval course, road course, and pit areas can be seen.


The Indianapolis Motor Speedway the racing capital of the world One of the first steps in the design process was to try to understand more about the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and what happens at the track during a race. This type of research is necessary for a designer to properly understand what and who they are designing for. The initial research lead to a series of three different diagrams (Figure 8-2, Figure 8-3, Figure 8-4). These diagrams show both facts and figures about the track and the current Dallara Indycar. Many of the statistics are rooted in history and relate to innovations that have occurred at the track. There were also a number of connections that were found between the Indycar and the consumer automobile. All of these facts and connections allowed for a design idea to begin to develop. The concept of allowing the connection between the Indycar and the consumer automobile began to form. A closer look into the history of racing and the timeline it has created was deemed necessary.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway understanding the site and the current museum location The current Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum is located within the confines of the track. This location, while it allows a direct connection to the race itself, is problematic in many ways. A person driving by the outside of the track might not even know the museum exists, except for the fact that there is a very small sign. It is also problematic in the fact that there is not much room to grow. As can be seen in Figure 8-6, land inside the track is valuable real estate. With these ideas in mind, a new location for the museum is proposed on the corner of W. 16th St. and W. Main St. This will allow for much more of a visual presence for the new museum in the city of Speedway. It also allows for a direct connection to the Dallara Indycar Factory, which is located directly South of the new location. The proposed location can also be seen in Figure 8-6.

The Timeline of History finding and making connections throughout history As previously mentioned, a close look at the history of racing and the timeline it produced was conducted. This search was actually much more difficult than expected, as no one has actually assembled a single timeline of racing events and technological breakthroughs. After a thorough search, a small timeline was developed (see Figure 8-7). While this is only a small snapshot of racing events, it begins to tell a very important story. If one looks closely at the events, small connections and links can be made.

These connections became important in allowing an organizational strategy of building content to develop. Instead of organizing the museum collection in a linear timeline fashion, the content can be organized based on the connections found throughout history. This allows for a much more fluid and flexible layout for the museum curators.

The Ever-Evolving Timeline how to deal with a growing collection The issue that many museums are currently facing is an ever-evolving and continuing timeline. This not only leads to a growing collection, but it also leads to a growing lack of space for display purposes.

As previously mentioned, the organizational strategy of connections throughout history solves this problem. As the timeline continues a simply shift in the displays is necessary. A certain display may grow while another may shrink. Allowing the spaces in the building to reflect this idea is crucial as the content is shifted around the building.

The 2013 Indianapolis 500 analyzing an indianapolis 500 race to find trends Since a new museum would be focused around the idea of a race and what happens during one, it was a crucial step to thoroughly analyze and examine what happens during a race.

race, they are cutting through the air much more than another car behind them. This not only leads to a slower top speed, but also to much more fuel being burned. There is an art and science to racing that the average person doesn’t see while watching from the stands.

This analysis was conducted by looking very closely at the 2013 Indianapolis 500 race. A video was paused every five minutes to see what was happening and where each of the drivers were currently located on track. This analysis lead to many trends and consistencies. One of the most interesting trends was watching where the cars were located coming in and out of the turns, which can be considered the most dynamic part of the race. While most drivers would follow the same path, there would occasionally be an outlier that would lead their own way. This often times either lead to success in a pass, or failure in terms of a crash. It was also interesting listening to the commentary during the race. The announcers stated many facts that would not even be though of. While it seems that a driver would want to lead for as much of the race as possible, this is actually highly undesirable. When a car is leading the Hall of Fame Museum | 63

The Art of Passing analyzing an indycar during a pass One of the most important parts of a race is the act of passing another car. Without this action, the race would simply be cars going very fast in a circle for long periods of time. In order to better understand a pass, a close look was taken into the steps necessary to successfully overtake another car. As can be seen in Figure 9-4, passes typically occur on the straightaway. It can be noted that some passes are attempted during a turn but typically result in a failure leading to a crash. The straightaway pass can be much more successful in the fact that the drivers utilize the car’s “boost” abilities to a fuller extent.

Figure 9-5 After the analysis of a pass occurred, four different conditions were found in the interstitial space between cars.


The Macro Design Model a look at the interstitial space created during an indycar pass During the analysis of a pass, many interesting conditions occurred in the interstitial space between the cars. Not only was there an overall conditions created (see Figure 9-4), but smaller conditions were also generated. These small conditions were generalized into four different diagrams (see Figure 9-5). These four conditions became a set of macro design models to be later utilized in the overall design and organization of the building. Some examples could be allowing a visitor to feel the act of compression and release through different sized adjacent spaces. These conditions can be directly linked back to the connections made in the timeline. Each connection, or display space, can have a different feeling associated with the experience (size, shape, quality of the space).

Figure 9-6 The concept of the timeline was abstracted into a design model to allow for further design development.


The Overall Design Model abstracting the timeline to become a building design model With all the ideas in place, it was time to develop an overall building design model. This model would eventually become the basis for how the form and content would be arranged and organized. As previously discussed, the overall form would be based on the idea of the timeline and connections throughout history. The idea of time and continuing time was summarized in Figure 9-6. Time is an ever evolving and continuing concept, therefore it continues on for infinity. If one looks closely at the timeline of racing history, it can be seen that there are times of more activity than others, so the infinity idea shifts. There are also times of even greater intensity and density, so the idea of infinity begins to fade in and out as it continues. An even closer look shows that occasionally the timeline veers off course and something new happens. Slowly it returns back into the normal rhythm of time. This ever evolving and changing concept can be seen at the bottom of Figure 9-6. This ultimately became the overall design model for the new proposed museum.

The Project Form Finding and Making

Hall of Fame Museum | 73


Figure 10-1 Study diagrams showing the beginning of the form finding exercise.


Finding A Form developing and evolving form from site/programmatic conditions As previously discussed, the form of the building is a combination of many different factors. Some of the most important factors come from both site conditions and from internal programmatic conditions. A quick site analysis was performed to better understand how the site will affect the building’s final form (see Figure 10-2 and Figure 10-3). The two main conditions found on the site that would react against the form were pedestrian flow and automobile flow. These different conditions began to push and pull the form to develop a building shape. These forces and their movements can be seen in Figure 10-4. The ideas and concepts of the timeline and organizing the content based on connections also continued to influence the form as well. Areas that allowed for pedestrian entrance come down and welcome people. While areas that the automobile would drive through need to lift and allow easier access. Interior spaces begin to reflect the macro design models discussed in Figure 9-5, where areas begin to compress and then release visitors. Hall of Fame Museum | 75

The Project Final Design

Hall of Fame Museum | 85


Figure 11-1 A top view rendering of the final form, which was developed from site conditions.


The Final Form refining the form and developing interior spaces Finalizing the form was a matter of tweaking what had already been developed from the studies performed during the form finding exercise. These tweaks were conducted based on changes that occurred on the interior programming and a few other site conditions. The final form developed is only one iteration of what the building could look like. As more and more constraints are added to the digital model, the form can continue to develop and evolve. This relates directly to the idea of the ever-evolving timeline and how it changes and develops. Additional constraints could be more programmatic conditions, structural conditions, and code complaint ideas. As mentioned, this iteration of form is only one idea of what it could be. Taking the idea of the timeline and connections throughout history, the form can potentially take any shape for any building type. The important aspects stand strong: allowing a flexible layout where content can be easily rearranged, allowing multiple nonhierarchical points of entrance, and allowing visitors to experience evolving and changing spatial conditions.


A Look Inside The Museum understanding the interior of the proposed museum It can be seen in Figure 11-2 below that the interior spaces of the proposed museum are very flowing and allow for a high level of flexibility in terms of display spaces. Looking back to the macro design models in Figure 9-5, the interior spaces begin to reflect the concepts found in the passing of an Indycar during a race.

simultaneously. There are also portions where the visitor can experience a much more intimate space, possibly a crash in history, then suddenly the space opens to a grand view of a major portion of the museum. These types of moves allow the visitor to experience the artifacts in a much more personal and intimate level.

A visitor can be experiencing a portion of the museum when they are faced with the option of a bifurcating path. This type of path occurs when a portion of the timeline branches off and two events begin to occur

It can be seen in Figure 11-3 and Figure 11-4 that the spaces in the museum are very flexible. This allows the curator to re-arrange content as the timeline of racing history continues to evolve and change into the future.


Figure 11-2 A section view shows how the interior space is divided and experience by the visitors.

The Final Display communicating the project ideas The final display was developed to effectively show and communicate the ideas of the project. Twentytwo separate boards were created to allow readers to easily understand the project. The boards were organized based on the design process and to demonstrate the flow of ideas from the beginning to the end. Physical models of both the final form and of the form iterations were 3D printed. The final model was crafted and polished to represent the same physical form that can be seen in the renderings. It can be seen in Figure 11-9 that the iteration models were displayed directly below the diagram explaining the design decisions. This helps the viewer to experience the design in all dimensions.
