J. Lindeberg Fashion Week exhibit
Environmental Graphics, Business
Copenhagen design office Barlby Carlsson created this mobile exhibition for J. Lindeberg for Copenhagen Fashion Week. The interior of the exhibition can be changed, stored in the container and easily moved between venues with the clients name, logo and colors visible at all times. Taking a container out of its normal environment solved three big challenges: logistics, handling and providing the customer with a large visual display, and a cheap solution for reuse.

Visible Proofs: Forensic Views of the Body exhibit
Environmental Graphics, Education
This exhibition at the National Library of Medicine (and its accompanying Web site) explores the significant cases, technologies and people that impacted advances in forensic medicine.
In collaboration with exhibition designers Howard Revis, Portland-based Second Story Interactive designed and developed the video installations and interactive autopsy slab. Visitors are engaged with interactivity through media elements that are well integrated into the exhibition, creating a multisensory experience: the shadows of medical examiners behind the body blend with those of passing visitors; video screens are embedded in cases and walls; projectors are hidden from view; and an interactive autopsy slab with a draped body engages visitors with autopsy procedures and supporting cases on a life-size figure.

Smart Cars exhibit
Environmental Graphics, Education
Manhattan has The Javits Center for large exhibitions. Now, thanks to a visionary design concept, it has 340 Madison Avenue for the smaller ones. Macklowe Properties, one of New York’s eminent real estate development and management companies, recently transformed an obsolete, irregularly shaped masonry building in the heart of the midtown business district into a breathtakingly modern 750,000-square-foot glass office tower. The complex, $100 million redevelopment included a complete upgrade of the building’s infrastructure and the expansion of a small lobby into a unique and contemporary, limestone-paneled “exhibition space” with a theatrical, 18-foot ceiling and the latest in lighting effects. This key element of the design—realized through a collaborative effort by the developer and New York architectural firms Moed de Armas & Shannon, and Gensler—was the result of a goal to create a signature identity for the property. The inaugural event at the recently opened building, is an exhibit of Smart Cars—the fuel-efficient, innovatively-designed, mini auto—designed by the New York-based Graham Hanson Design. The display of Smart Cars, which is brining in visitors, as well as attention, is expected to remain throughout most of 2006. Future exhibits are under discussion.
