CONCEPTS
I chose to re-imagine the gem and mineral exhibit for a few reasons. It’s a smaller space, with a smaller subject, while the layout is linear it has an oppurtunity to easily become more open and non-linear. The smaller subject matter allows for a variety of interactions to be implimented without distracting from the scientific and historical aspects of the exhibit,and it also offers a unique way to improve the localization of the exhibit, as some parts of Colorado have a history rooted in mining. With the research I’ve done and the observations I’ve made, I can create new interactions that enhance the science of gems and minerals as well as the historical aspect of mining that are prominent in the exhibit.
