How might you sketch model and prototype environments? Challenges of size and scale. A museum exhibit requires an extreme amount of planning, iteration, and study.

Enter: Sketches, Floorplans, cross-sections, axonometric drawings, cardboard models, digital modeling, etc.

Designed for the California Museum of Science and Industry in Los Angeles, Mathematica was the first of many major science exhibitions produced by the Eames Office. photo credit: http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/eames/bio.html#a22a

Helping exhibit visitors understand experientially abstract mathematical concepts such as cubing a number (e.g., 8x8x8) or the Moebius strip.

Helping people experience the history of math concepts.

How difficult is to learn to draw what a cone cut by a slanted plane looks like? Helping people experience the geometric projections. Instead of having to imagine what something looks like in one’s head, you can walk around and see it.

The guy who runs the prototyping research is Clemens Gammer. The image is from the Betahaus ODC in Berlin. Together with Jay and Christopher Doering, Gammer has been running the Open Design City. Their lego-like prototyping tool is the real product.
