OMA’s Post

For the Architectural Record, Andrew Holder of the LADG | LA Design Group, Inc. describes his office's exhibition design for Eternal Medium: Seeing the World in Stone at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and asks, "As a model for architecture, can the white cube be repurposed to center artifacts, be earnest, include things that originate outside the exhibition, and allow those things to represent themselves as entities separate from the context of the institution? Further, can it do this while retaining something of its power?" https://lnkd.in/eTkuGgyM

Timeless Elegance: Did you know that the iconic Eiffel Tower, a symbol of Paris, was initially intended to be a temporary structure for the 1889 Exposition Universelle? Luckily, its allure and utility as a telegraph transmitter saved it from dismantlement, making it a permanent masterpiece. #EiffelTowerHistory #ArchitecturalWonders #epcsolution #constructionmanagement #constructionindustry #epc

The Venice Biennale isn't just an art exhibition - it's a cultural phenomenon! Founded in 1895, it's transformed from a national showcase to a global platform for artistic dialogue. Imagine a world where art transcends borders and ignites conversations. The Biennale has been at the forefront of this artistic evolution, pushing boundaries and showcasing groundbreaking movements. From its early days celebrating Italian art to its current status as a global platform, the Biennale has consistently challenged the status quo. Venice itself becomes a living exhibition during the Biennale. The Giardini gardens, with their permanent pavilions and the central exhibition, are the heart of the event. But thr Biennale's magic extends beyond the Giardini's! National pavilions scattered throughout the city transform historic buildings into vibrant embassies for each country's artistic spirit. Independent exhibitions, known as "collateral events," further enrich the experience, offering a diverse range of artistic expressions. Are you an art enthousiast or simply curious about this unique event? The Venice Biennale offers a transformative experience for everyone. #VeniceBiennale #ArtHistory #ContemporaryArt #CulturalExchange #Travel

Museum Exhibits in 3️⃣0️⃣ seconds - Walk the Line Exhibition： BRKN - It is the faith of glass to break. Exhibit： Walk the Line Introduction: The installation ‘Walk the Line’ visualizes the kind of discipline and restraint we all choose to exercise in order to coexist responsibly and harmoniously. It is about staying true to ourselves, and to those whose promises we keep. The work invites visitors to physically walk the line: a path of light, culminating in a floor-to-ceiling LED wall displaying the lyrics to the now iconic, eponymous song. These tenets that individuals choose to uphold - or to break - are of course intangible. Their ethereal quality is evoked here by reflections of solid, overhead strips of light, resulting in a bright white line that appears to hover above a mirrored floor. A work about trust, and faith, and about responsibilities, its emotive musical accompaniment acknowledges that to walk the line is not always easy to do. About: The series "Museum Exhibits in 30 seconds" introduces new exhibits, installations and spaces at the Shanghai Museum of Glass, curated, designed and brought to life by COO Studio. - #shanghaimuseumofglass #museum #museumdesign #shanghai #culture #exhibitiondesign #installations #designinstallations #artinstallations #ai

🏛️ The Jewish Museum in Berlin: A Journey Through History and Emotion 📚 The Jewish Museum in Berlin, designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, is not just a museum—it’s an emotional experience. The architecture itself is meant to evoke feelings of disorientation and anxiety, reflecting the tumultuous history of the Jewish people in Germany. Architectural Highlights: Zigzag Design 🌀: The building’s zigzag shape, often described as a 'disjointed Star of David,' creates an unsettling pathway through the museum. Void Spaces 🕳️: Empty, unheated voids run through the building, representing the absence and loss experienced during the Holocaust. Garden of Exile 🌳: Tilted columns and uneven ground in the garden create a sense of instability, mirroring the dislocation of Jews during exile. Visiting the Jewish Museum in Berlin is more than an architectural tour—it's a powerful journey through history, designed to make you feel the weight of the past. Check out our latest article for an in-depth look at this architectural masterpiece. Read More https://lnkd.in/e_KRJZnV 🔍 Have you visited the Jewish Museum in Berlin?

Impressive to say the least. Ergonomics and style beautifully merged to create a Statement.

Designing a lighting concept that works in harmony with an exhibition design is crucial for creating a cohesive and impactful experience. The lighting design should enhance the overall atmosphere, highlight key elements, and contribute to the narrative of the exhibition. Here are some steps to help you create a lighting design concept that complements the exhibition design:

Non Plus Ultra is rooted at the intersection of architecture and civic identity, and nowhere is that expression grander than at world fairs/expos. World's fair structures sometimes become a permanent part of a host city's cultural and physical landscape. These structures are a living memory of the fair and a snapshot of the attitudes, perceptions, and hopes of the people who made them. For example, many mid-20th-century structures have outer-space themes, showing people's aspirations concerning space exploration. Other buildings are experiments to address housing problems, reflecting concerns and issues of the time. Still others are timeless and make grand pronouncements about the future of humanity. Here's a look at some of the famous world's fair structures that still exist today. (We are a little befuddled that our Palace Of Fine Arts, originally constructed for the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition to exhibit works of art, missed this list!) https://lnkd.in/gRx5JHjd

Can you imagine the work that goes into creating a stand of this size and stature? 🤯 Every design element, health & safety aspect, brand requirement and customer impact consideration needs a level of knowledge and detail that takes years to perfect. (Luckily enough, we have plenty of that here between everyone. 😂) #exhibitionstands #b2b #b2c #standdesign #exhibitions #customerexperience #projectdevelopment #projectmanagement
