Science Museum - Launch Pad

Launch Pad is the most visited gallery in the Science Museum and offers a real hands-on way to experience a variety of mechanical and scientific activities. Children can play with a two way mirror, check out electrical currents, spin on a platform to experience centrifugal force, walk along a suspension bridge, pump water into a high level cistern, move grain around a circuit with cogs, wheels and pulleys and project their voice across the gallery with giant sound dishes.

We were the lead consultants and designed the layout, display structures, interiors, display cases and the outward appearance of the interactive exhibits.

Science Museum – Space Gallery

The gallery was created to update the story of space exploration including the latest technical development in long distance space probes. A circular imprint in the floor traces out the diameter of an Apollo rocket with an actual propulsion unit displayed nearby. Large space vehicles previously held in storage were put on display for the first time, suspended from the upper floor slab in a setting which was designed to represent a space highway. A new interactive mission control centre with roll playing activities such as ‘launch a rocket’ were formed in the centre of the gallery.

We were the lead consultants and designed the layout, display structures, interiors, display cases and the outward appearance of the interactive exhibits.

Eureka! The National Children’s Museum

Eureka! Is the award winning museum and charity based in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Everything in the museum has been designed to inspire children to find out about themselves and the world around them through hundreds of hands-on exhibits.
 
We designed  a world for children where they could take on adult roles whilst learning about science, society, commerce and work. The gallery is a small working town with a house, shop, post office, bank, factory and garage all set around a town square complete with fountain and excavations exposing an area below ground level. The house has been de-constructed to expose its construction and all tits services such as water supply and drainage. It also contains a working kitchen for cooking activities. Children can dress up and work in the shop, factory or bank, service a model car, deliver the post or explore the structures and buildings, both above and below ground.
