-- Interesting display methods - Dark vs. Light --

The following exhibits are examples of how the interior designers have played with light and dark to achieve a sense of intrigue and a visually stimulating sensory experience when interacting with the displays:


CERN:
The Globe of Science and Innovation which houses "The
Universe of Particles" exhibition, as well as the famous
LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at the European Organisation
of Nuclear Research, also known as CERN.

The Globe lit at night - situated in the NW suburbs of Geneva. 

The Universe of Particles exhibition housed inside the Globe

The use of light and dark to achieve a visually
interesting space

The seating area/pause area makes use of round built-in chairs
mimicking the rest of the fixed displays and light fittings




Interactive and informative displays showing the 
integration of technology and design - inspiration being 
drawn from the molecules that the scientists study 
there in the world's largest particle physics library 





THE MAX PLANCK SCIENCE TUNNEL: 

German's top research company, the Max Planck Society, has chosen to do a travelling exhibition which offers a relaxed environment and fascinating new insights and perspectives on the global challenges we face, and the 21st century megatrends that are growing in our complex world. 


Conceptual layout of the Science Tunnel divided into its 8 Chapters,
namely The Universe, Matter, Life, Complexity, The Brain, Health,
Energy and The Society.

Tunnel

With the information about each display mounted on
custom light-boxes, and the bulkhead lighting overhead,
the concept of light and dark also plays a part
in this exhibition design

Exhibition with the educational displays which include
illustrations, objects, films, interviews and experiential
media spaces with which audiences can interact
