Getting started.
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one."
- Mark Twain
Case Studies
Marketing meets design to welcome museum visitors.
The challenge:
A regional art museum had been expanded and remodeled in recent years, and visitors' flow through the new internal and external spaces needed to be clarified and directed via a redesigned orientation system. The goal was to have a warm and welcoming reception for all visitors that achieved several things. First, it had to highlight current exhibits and programs. It also had to highlight upcoming exhibits and the history of the museum and its benefactors.
The solution:
Axia's solution was to create seamless transitions between the outside courtyards, sculpture garden, and parking areas, and the main entry, welcome center, special exhibit halls, and connecting hallways.
The result:
By literally and figuratively bringing the outside in and the inside out, Axia smoothly merged all of the museum's spaces. By introducing color, texture, and a human scale, Axia made the spaces warmer, more personal, and more user-friendly.
