FRIDAY TOOLKIT: Handing to you on a shiny, sustainable, silver platter: For my friends in the #Museum world, would you take this pledge? What are the biggest obstacles to adopting the practices and materials in this guidebook? What steps are the easiest / hardest? #regenerativedesign #materials #sustainability #Netzero #carbonfootprints #themedentertainment #exhibitdesign #WELL #LivingFuture #EveryJobisaGreenJob #design #solarpunk
What’s a museum exhibition made of? The Museum Exhibition Materials Pledge is an invitation to museums and museum exhibition designers to explore this question from a material sustainability perspective. The pledge language will sound familiar to those aware of The American Institute of Architects (AIA)'s A&D Materials Pledge, purposefully aligning with the five pillars of impact committed to by over 250 AIA design firm signatories. The pledge offers museums a path to define material sustainability and act on it. Let’s explore: Learn more > https://lnkd.in/gKHA-YcS Sign the Pledge > https://lnkd.in/gBKXqQus Read the Toolkit > https://lnkd.in/gprQx5ak Watch the Latest Webinar > https://lnkd.in/gg3pf-aG

“Whether you’re eight or eighty, you want your world to work for you.” This quote from the “Unlimited by Design” exhibition at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York encapsulates the spirit of universal design. The same conditions for everyone, no matter their age, rather than special solutions for the select few. But what is behind the term “universal design”? How does the approach, which is at once both #innovative and universal, address the challenges of demographic change? Read more at https://lnkd.in/g4NCaG_q

Museum thinker & consultant💡I help museums innovate and manage systemic change across the institution ⚙️Mentor▪️Training and Research▪️Workshop facilitator▪️Exhibition development and outreach▪️socio-museology practice
A leaf from a journey's diary - Rethinking museums We understand museums as having a determinate form and recognise them as containers with contents inside. For the historic European museum this is even more so the case. Can’t it be different and, if we can change it, how might it look? The splendidly beautiful porcelain works of Chinese artist Lei Xue would be a good analogy to explain possible or likely futures for the historic European museum. Lei Xue has created a contemporary blend of tradition and modern consumption aesthetics by combining traditional Chinese porcellain techniques with soda-can forms. As tradition is grafted onto everyday consumption objects so can our understanding of the past be shaped by contemporary values. As traditional craftsmanship and materials are shaped into objects inspired by throw-aways from every day life so can the historic European museum reinvent intself in the contemporary. Let’s not forget that museums need artists not just to present them to their publics but to help them reinvent themselves. #innovatingthepast #historicmaterials #contemporarynarratives

Have a read of the blog I wrote on this extraordinary piece made exclusively at George Smith!
The Back-To-Back sofa is a single piece combining two Standard Arm Signature sofas, exclusively crafted by George Smith. This sofa can be traced back to the middle of the 19th century when it was commonly found in prestigious residences, as well as art galleries and museums across Britain. Proving that a statement piece can also be functional and comfortable, the Back-To-Back sofa from George Smith stands out as a timeless piece of art that will be the talk of the room. Discover our blog to discover everything you need to know about this extraordinary piece! https://lnkd.in/erTUSkew

At NorthernLight, our aim in designing contemporary exhibitions about historical topics is to connect the topic to the NOW. Traditional historical exhibitions quite often try to mimic the THEN for the visitors. That is why we recently introduced our vision for the ’The transhistorical space’. This correlates with recent developments in historical studies to link historical events with current and timeless developments, rather than binding them to their epoch only. That leads to a shift from an “As if you were there” to a “there is here” approach for our exhibition design. Several of our recent (and upcoming) projects embody this philosophy. To discover more, read our latest newsletter: https://lnkd.in/eep_sRiU #exhibitiondesign #transhistoricalspace #spacefornewthinking
