It’s been a while since I’ve posted on the Museum project in Calgary.
Prototyping and fabrication are underway on a number of the galleries.
Soon you’ll be able to see the new Museum and exhibits in person!
Here are some additional peeks.

Took a tour of the new museum site the other day. It had come a long way since the last time I visited the site back in March.

To showcase the networking capability of their sound systems, this personal electronics company wanted to set up an integrated interactive display. I detailed and dimensioned the showcase components and helped to develop a display system that could be used in other product programs.

A well known banking company wanted to update the look of its Canadian branches. Taking design cues from it’s European locations, I designed, detailed and developed customer kiosks and ATM surrounds.

The sales reps at a this personal electronics company needed a portable display to showcase and demonstrate it’s new earphone system. Instead of the usual tabletop display of binder based information sheets, Bose went for an album style display. There was a lot of engineering and design consideration put into this unit which was eventually prototyped in aluminum and acrylic. In order for custom fabrication and design flexibility a number of extrusion profiles were created to provide not only structure but also functionality, such as panel holding slots and an integrated hinge system.

Space was getting tight at the office and soon there were going to be a few new employees. In order to address these issues I developed a new office layout that would allow for growth, improve office workflow, and give individuals a space to call their own.

After moving into our new home it quickly became eveident to my wife and I that our front window was lacking any semblance of style. My wife wanted a window bench and I wanted a place to display some of our collectibles.

I was the principal designer for this exhibit, which showcased the technology of health and beauty equipment over the past century. In addition to developing the overall exhibit space in terms of layout, colour and educational interpretation, I also determined the artifact layout and mounting methods.

This kiosk was designed to be placed in a children’s area at the Trillium Health Centre to assist in entertainment and educational activities. It is appropriately scaled to ensure wheelchair and child accessibility.
Using Adobe Illustrator and SolidWorks, I generated final design plans, parts and materials list, as well as fabrication drawings from general descriptions and requirements supplied by the client.

For a major exhibit at the Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa I assisted in designing, developing and detailing educational interactive exhibits to demonstrate and teach scientific concepts relating to electronic communication networks.

In addition to developing objectives and interfaces for the interactives I also produced detailed plans, prototypes and production drawings. To determine physical and interface usability, testing was performed using prototypes and focus groups.
