the ghm project.....currently.
principles:
RHYTHM: our design for the museum is history, history, history. from the railroads to the war history to the textiles industry everything will be cohesive with the exhibits and reflect the fact that its a history museum.
BALANCE: the entire space will be used whether its for storage, exhibit space.
EMPHASIS: the walls will be the emphasis as well as signage and color use.
UNITY: by bringing the history into the lobby we'll give the museum an identity and create unity.
PROPORTION: i think that by addressing the height of the ceiling we'll keep the proportion right.
elements:
LINE: most of our lines are going to be curved to keep with the curvature of the original space.
COLOR: we're still working on color. our first ideas were not so great (booooring). we're thinking of some sort of pop of color/fresh space!
SHAPE: circles. lots of them. well, curves. but that hints at circles. the huge curved wall in the space is responsible for that.
TEXTURE: for this i would say it can be seen in the way we bring in the textiles industry (like maybe some literal textiles?). the textiles industry is a big part of greensboro so bringing it in would be an awesome opportunity to bring in texture!
FORM: all of the curvature and breaking up of the space will totally change the form.
SPACE: by breaking up the space we'll be able to make it not so overwhelming when you first walk in. we want to utilize the entire space and do it effectively.
