Description

Basics Interior Design 02: Exhibition Design explores the role of the exhibition designer as a creative practitioner, and seeks to communicate a better understanding of exhibition design as a discipline.

This umbrella term incorporates the development of commercial trade fairs, brand experiences, themed attractions, world expositions, museum galleries, visitor centres, historic houses, landscape interpretation and art installations. Millions of people visit exhibitions of one sort or another every year, constituting a multi-billion dollar global industry.

This book offers a comprehensive guide to the practice of exhibition design, and considers the blurring of its borders with other disciplines, such as graphic design.

Excellent book, especially in the range of drawings and illustration of the design process - the first book for this specialism.

This is a useful book and I have not seen another on this subject matter ... the text is an easy read and capable of being 'flicked' through for inspiration'. Tony Bechelet, Highlands College, Jersey.
