Work in Progress

By Maria Mortati

One of our current projects, The Fort Collins Discovery Museum has posted a set of panoramic views of the job site. It's a lot of fun for us to see things progress. For those that live there in town, it must be really exciting.

How many people does it take to make a new museum?

Our client, the Fort Collins Discovery Museum has revised their website in regards to the new museum project. We're thrilled by the fact that they're giving all the external players credit. It's also a great overview of what types of groups need to come together on the "outside" to make projects such as these happen:

One thing not mentioned is the staff at the Museum. They have been collaborating very closely with us; going out into the community, researching and co-developing the exhibits. They are a talented, cooperative and passionate group. It's such a richer project and process as a result of this relationship.

Interesting New Museum Project Preview

One of our clients- the Fort Collins Discovery Museum, had an interesting video of the new project developed by their local TV station. I like the inserts of the museum's co-directors walking you through the virtual site/space. They've taken our exhibit renderings, landscape plans and architectural images to make a collage overview.

New Prezi: "How do you Build A New Museum?"

A client I've written about before (the Fort Collins Discovery Museum) put together a cool, thoughtful Prezi about their project. Check it out– especially if you're looking for a storyline of how a museum comes together:

We've been working with them since the beginning of the Master Planning process and it's been rewarding and fun. They are a talented, motivated bunch of people working in a supportive community. What a combo.
