Farewell to Frank Gehry: The End of an Extraordinary Architectural Era
The passing of Frank Gehry resonates like an earthquake in the world of architecture, even for those who never knew his name, yet certainly recognized the “crazy silver building” that transformed their city’s skyline. Gehry was born in Toronto in 1929 and grew up in Los Angeles. #Gehry #museumdesign #urbanarchitecture

Feedback time!
Working on a proof of concept for a GLAM org - if you're interested in #BlackHistory, #Black cultural archives or even just have ideas about what a community centred archive could look like, I would very much appreciate thoughts:

Hello, thank you for participating in this survey. We are designing an online resource that connects the collections of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge to the stories within Black history and contemporary culture. It will host content such as: Articles High resolution image galleries Video essays Imagery of items from the Fitzwilliam Museum collection Interactive media Relating to the exhibition, Black Atlantic: Power, People, Resistance. You might like to click on the link to find out more about the exhibition. This survey will take about 10 minutes to complete.
This case study was designed to engage children’s sense of smell through a story-related museum exhibition. Children’s responses to the exhibition, with particular attention to their olfactory perceptions of the odors at the exhibition, were solicited through researcher-child interviews and children’s drawings. Responses from 28 children (girls N = 14, boys N = 14) aged between 4.5–8 years were analyzed after they visited the exhibition using the cross-modal association and multisensory theories. Interview data showed that dark (brown and black) colors elicited children’s negative olfactory associations for both positive and negative odors. Children’s drawings did not seem to make references to the odors at the exhibitions but rather their preferences for the different story characters. We theorize about the associations between smell and colors in children’s responses and distil some key learnings for multisensory museology.
Yes, you may have had a great time visiting as a kid on your school trips or whatever. Nostalgia is not an adequate analysis.
The reality is you probably didn't get much more knowledge out of it than spectacle and also didn't notice the dust on the exhibits because... well frankly you were too small.
OK, so got an online design jam coming up 16th-18th November, exploring intersection of design justice, community centred/civic service design and GLAM data.
Sound interesting? Know people who'd be interested?
Well, sign up and share! https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/749732840107

Any examples of accessible AND innovative/intriguing online collections design? Whether for Museums, online galleries, libraries, independent craft shops?
Some visually inspiring (but not especially accessible) examples from me:
