we're beginning to talk about color schemes and materials in our group [greensboro historical museum renovation]. what better time to check out some precedents? here are a few museums that i think have a successful identity and look to them.
information is posted and there is a central focus...not to mention tons of light.
because the space is so light, the dark stairs stand out as a form of wayfinding, leading visitors to what lies beyond the lobby space. the white walls, as in the queens museum, let the artwork and the wayfinding do the talking.
the vaulted ceiling guides visitors up the stairs and beyond. like the others, the space is white with tons of natural light coming in.
so basically what i want to bring to this space is the open, airy, museum-like feeling these have. i think if we strip away the "80s green" as patrick calls it the space will instantly open up. by using well thought-out methods of wayfinding and guiding people through the space it will have more flow to it. more ideas to come!
