We recognize that visitor attactions, science centers and children’s museums belong to communities and that they should be active participants in community life; therefore we facilitate planning and design that is community and stakeholder based. We believe in the power of visitors, particularly children, all children; therefore our planning and design is sensitive to and inclusive of visitors’ an
d childrens needs and whenever practical includes their input through the planning and design process, through prototyping and through any other means agreed upon by the client. We create exhibitions and programs that are developmentally appropriate to target audiences; therefore our designs are grounded in solid educational theory and can be keyed to educational standards and curriculum. We believe in respect, teamwork, collaboration, deadlines, meeting budgets and accountability; therefore we will work with your team to clearly define roles, responsibilities, timelines and budgets and we will hold our team and your team members accountable. We believe true collaboration stretches concepts and ideas making them stronger; therefore we will challenge you and expect you will do the same to us. We believe diverse internal as well as external stakeholders are keys to success; therefore we encourage the formation of a broad cross-functional team that will participate fully in the planning and design process. We believe exhibits, programs and design are inextricably linked; therefore we plan and design holistic experiences assuring that collateral programming and visitor amenities are not an afterthought. Through our rapid visualization process we explore a large number of concepts; some conservative and some very off the wall. We will further expand your wish list and create a decision making framework to assure we choose the most powerful and sustainable experiences for your audience.
