How to turn an exhibition into an experience - an analytical, structured and attractively illustrated guide for designers. An exhibition does not fascinate us purely through the presence of exhibited objects, but through the opportunity it gives us to make our own discoveries. Communication, education, experience and contemplation interact productively and dynamically. This book shows the preliminary stages of exhibitions from the designer's perspective. Topics include the presentation and staging of exhibitions, displays and education, texts, graphics, typography and layout, lighting and acoustics. Sketches, diagrams, and plans of wall arrangements, installations, collections, and models in appropriate scales and photos of realised projects are used to illustrate the process. Bertron Schwarz Frey/Group for Design (Berlin and Schwabisch Gmund) rank among the leading German offices of visual communication, museography and exhibition design. Amongst their projects are the Science Centre in Bremen, the natural,history museum in Berlin, and temporary exhibitions for the Germany's Haus der Geschichte foundation.
