Children’s museums are designed in such a way that kids learn much more than they realize. Exhibits are made to be engaging and interactive to those who visit while conveying complex ideas about physics, anatomy, geology, design and engineering in easy to understand ways. They are meant to fan the flames of curiosity that exists within all of us. If successful, a children’s museum will serve as the origin point for a lifelong pursuit of understanding how the world works around us.

Project Description //Wondertorium Children’s Museum had just been established in Stillwater and needed more exhibits for their new location. My studio class took on the challenge as a design/build project that was part of the curriculum.
After
spending a week doing research and traveling around to different interactive
museums, each student was responsible for coming up with an initial idea based on what we had learned from our research and travels.
Students
were then
grouped together based on similarities in initial idea to come up with a refined concept. these refined concepts would eventually become the built exhibits of the museum
All
the people who became part of my group had personal concepts
of a mechanical nature that stood alone as an arcade style interactive toy.
After
copious amounts of sketching and conversation we established unifying
ideas that would make up our final machine.

//The site allotted for this project is located on a portion of Osage Hills State Park. Within the allotted area, there were a few existent roads and old WPA camp. Our number one goal was to minimize impact on the site itself while getting the most out what was already available. The determining influences for the site selection were vegetation density, flood plain evasion, topography, avoiding The WPA campsite and using existing roadways on site.

roof.
The church building has long been used for more than just a place to hear a sermon on Sunday mornings. It serves as a meeting house, reception hall, performance venue and about every other function that could potentially serve the surrounding community. At some point it becomes necessary to build a separate space outside of the church building to perform these duties.
Providing another location serves as a second source of pride for area residents in their community. In order to have the greatest positive impact on the public at large, there must be multiple locations of reverence.
programs
Beginnings // I was fortunate enough to be approached by a contractor’s consultant company that had recently established on office in
Oklahoma City. A
church organization they were consulting wanted to build
a project somewhere on the northeast side of
Oklahoma City. This
region of the city has had very
little development over the years and the church wanted to provide a place that would supply area residents with a location they could be proud of.
In
order to achieve this goal, they needed some visual
representations of the prospective project to use for fund raising.
At
this point in the project, they
were still looking for land to purchase for the project so no information about the site was available to me.
Only
having the image shown to the right and a couple of initial meetings to get to know the
wants and needs for the project,
I
prepared drawings to the best of my abilities.

The
inefficiencies of this scheme mostly revolved
around not being able to fulfill the full wish list of the client.
Using
similar geometries for various functions would force the façade materials to differentiate zones in order to achieve the goal of independent distinction of each zone.
The
successful portion of this
scheme is the central bay that smaller spaces are organized around.
