-       Individual contributions needs to be posted on your blogs

Presentation in weeks 8. Individually research into lighting, signage, and digitally fabricated exhibition structures.

Work to wards a submission of:

-       Plans with elevations

-       Storyboard structure – a sequence of perspectives, how to experience

-       Elevation – continuing of information. Heights, text, continuity.

-       A display of objects and artifacts. Plans take control of the detail.

-       Signage templates – construction and placement, measurements.
