“In the last few years, we’ve seen an explosive demand for new and unique attractions. People are flocking to one-of-a-kind #entertainment and novel #experiences: XR, “eatertainment,” and “artainment,” to name a few. Dinner and a movie have never been so passé”... Our Project Director Ben Townsend shares his insights into how #venues can create successful, unique and profitable #attractions, in an ever changing landscape.

Our very own Matt Quinn sat down for a conversation with BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group Partner Douglass Alligood, FAIA, NCARB, LEED AP, NOMA. 📣 They discussed #Juneteenth, the National Juneteenth Museum, and how to design museums with deep cultural impact. “On a personal level, it’s been a great experience to make something meaningful to the Black community that has historic meaning for my country.” - Douglass Alligood, Partner, BIG Learn about an epicenter for celebration & education here👇 https://lnkd.in/e2E-pnDC

Tomorrow is #Juneteenth - a day that marks the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation and the liberation of the remainder of the enslaved in Texas and throughout the newly reformed United States after the Civil War. The National Juneteenth Museum, coming to Fort Worth, Texas, will honor, celebrate, and interrogate this remarkable moment in American history. Engaged by our longtime collaborators, BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group, we created a film that would spur philanthropists and corporates to step up and secure the museum’s passage from rendering to reality.

We're delighted that Casson Mann Ltd's latest project, Musée national de la Marine has been given a Silver award for this year's European Design Awards. Opened November 2023, Casson Mann has transformed the Musée national de la Marine in the heart of Paris. Our scenography balances the needs of an authoritative national museum, with the desire to create a compelling visitor experience for a wide audience. The scheme includes huge, sculptural ‘landmarks’ that lead visitors through the museum, for example, a ship’s hull, a suspended shipping container and a giant wave animated by projections. Another highlight is the ship model gallery, where visitors have 360-degree views of the ships in the national collection. The design integrates rich collections, including marine art, with tactile models and digital interactives. The result is an immersive and unforgettable museum, suitable for a 21st century audience. Congratulations to the team!

There's a projection-mapped ballroom where legendary dancer Len Goodman will guide you through various dance styles, from Salsa to Samba. Another standout feature is a massive immersive curved wall, which allows guests to project their heads onto moving bodies and dance through the ages!
