Affordable Exhibition Design by
From Francesc Zamora Mola, one of the international design world's most skilled and perceptive interior designers, Affordable Exhibition Design is a one-of-a-kind guide to imaginative, practical, and--crucially--budget-friendly exhibition design from around the world. A design editor at LYMNE and the creative force behind acclaimed titles like New Small Spaces and The Art of Landscape Architecture, Zola now provides an invaluable reference book for effective and cost-friendly solutions in display architecture.
BRANDLife: Concept Stores and Pop-Ups by
Concept stores and pop-ups are all about discovery and stimulation. In a world where shopping options abound in the digital realm alone, perceptive brands are pushing creative boundaries to weave stories and cultivate inspiring ways of living within compelling physical environments to build deeper connections with their customers - whether through timeless narratives that truly distinguish them from the rest, or innovative displays that excite and engage. In recognizing the true power of design, BRANDLife: Concept Stores & Pop-ups demonstrates how graphic identities and interiors can translate a brand's philosophy and purpose into tangible and memorable experiences. Besides an eye-opening showcase of 60 projects across the world, it features interviews with market leaders who bring the best retail encounters across a variety of mediums and platforms to life.
Museum Participation by
Genuine participation is about much more than simply "taking part". But many museums' commitment to engagement and participation remains at this superficial level. Full participation involves the sharing of authority, decision-making and power. And letting go of the boundaries between the professional and the public. This book shows what is being done - and how it can be done. "This inspiring volume is packed with thoughtful examples of leading museums around the world involving their visitors in their work to powerful effect." Nina Simon, Executive Director, Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History, and author of The Participatory Museum. "Participation is the only sustainable future for museums and galleries, and this book should inspire us all to get better at embedding it until it becomes part of our museums' DNA." Piotr Bienkowski, Project Director: Our Museum Programme, Paul Hamlyn Foundation. "This is a challenging volume of essays outlining radical museum practice... I highly recommend it to everyone concerned with the potential of the contemporary museum to promote equality and human rights." Dr Viv Golding, Programme Director of Learning & Visitor Studies, School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester.
On Show by
The beauty of impermanence has many manifestations - whether in the artistic, natural or spiritual realms. The design of exhibition and trade show stands exemplifies this temporary quality, providing intriguing displays that are at once eye catching, sophisticated and memorable. Whether controlled or interactive, the installations featured frequently make use of all surfaces from floor to ceiling to arrest one's attention and direct further explorations.
