Design Master Class: Design as Interpretation:
This Master Class is the American version of a hugely successful program developed by Lee Skolnick, of Lee H. Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnership, held last year at the University of Leicester Department of Museum Studies in Leicester, England. The Master Class is a short studio project for designers interested in developing high-level interpretation skills through design. This class is oriented around storytelling in the environment and the various disciplines involved in interpretation from writing and graphics to multimedia and lighting.
The focus will be a design charette. Participants will work directly with Lee and his colleagues in groups on exhibit “interventions” that explore the potential for interpreting content and concepts through design, using locations within the University campus as project sites. Audience definition, conceptual framework, narrative, procession and circulation, design vocabulary, materiality, interactivity, graphics, lighting, and media will be examined through lectures, group discussions, and presentations, in terms of their potential to contribute to truly interpretive visitor experiences.
The course is intended for museum designers, educators, and other museum professionals actively involved in exhibition development. The class will include a high level of discussion and debate. Participation is limited to twenty professionals and five design students.
The program will begin on Monday, July 14 at 5:00pm and end on Wednesday, July 16 at 6:00pm.
Fees (includes dinner on July 14 and breakfast and
lunch on July 15 and 16)

Fifth Annual Symposium
Presented by SEGD
Founding Sponsor: Edwards Technologies, Chicago Museum
of Science & Industry
Explore new directions in exhibition design, navigate new design processes, experience dynamic discussions, and see cutting-edge methodologies. This symposium responds to the unique needs of the world of exhibition design and brand environments and is the premier event for any designer, client, or fabricator involved in museums, aquariums, zoos, heritage areas, trade shows, themed environments, store environments, or corporate environments.
Exhibition designers come from a variety of fields including architecture, graphic design, and industrial design. This mix has created a revolution in the integration of architecture and exhibition, making placemaking central to any narrative approach. This symposium will focus on combining narrative and place using a combination of design theory, design exercises, and discussion. Topics will include integration of exhibition in the architectural design process, exploration of narrative within spatial design, and research and professional collaboration.
Corporate leaders, museum leaders, and exhibition designers from around the country will join in provocative discussion and design challenges; this symposium will change the way you look at design.
Attendance is limited to 32 design professionals, fabricators, design managers, and clients. Five students may attend; student scholarships are available (contact craig@segd.org for more information).
Six AIA learning units are available for this workshop; contact craig@segd.org for more information.
