Research – London Transport Museum

As part of my research for an interactive experience brief, I visited the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden today to see how they get their visitors to engage with the content. Alongside valuable information regarding user interaction/human-computer-interface, I loved this simple projection that ran across the walls and down onto the floor.

technically simple, but visually striking, I like that a lot.

I’ll post more on this project and detailed research findings later in the week, but i’ll leave it at these lovely (yet shoddily taken, sorry) images for now.

Bexhill Museum

So today I went down to investigate the brand new extension at Bexhill Museum, having been officially unveiled by local legend Eddie Izzard on Thursday (26 Nov). In Bexhill we take what we can get when it comes to this kind of thing, so I was pleasantly surprised to see how excellent the new section looks, to the point that I took some photos:

Very line-y.

Some interesting pieces inside including the original architects model of the De La Warr Pavillion, which was made available to public viewing in 1934. Included in the plans, Mendelsohn & Chermayeff propose a large circular swimming pool and other features which for financial and other reasons unfortunately never saw the light of day.
