Pine Rivers Heritage Museum — City of Moreton Bay : STUDIO STARR

RELEVANCE
Context & Conversation

The historical within the contemporary (recontextualising content)
- Spatial / Visitor-centric museum and gallery design / Casual visitor flow, open display, graphic clarity.

Allowing for experiential and idealogical dialogue
- Visitor / Elevations that allow for viewpoint richness / Pourous verticals, low plinths, graphic multitude.

Creating a living past (closing the time gap)
- Relational / Content proximity / Object adjacent to image adjacent to story.

ENGAGEMENT
Theatricality & Captivation

To provoke (emotion and thought) through diverse expression
- Spatial / Neutral to robust / White platforms (river) to darkened battened walls (timber). From static to moving image audio visual content.

A dynamic and discoverable display (continual interest)
- Visitor / Displays that hide, reveal and change / A 360° approach to visitor orientation. Flexibility for object changeover.

Encourage action over passivity (physical and intellectual involvement)
- Relational / Being a recipient and a participant / Distant observation to close analysis to hands-on discovery.

PLACE
Voice & Vibration

Articulate story and event
- Spatial / Giving prominence to both historical and regional time markers / Large-scale key graphics and headlines that bring focus.

Respect and highlight object
- Visitor / Positioning objects to best tell their story / Object displayed as to their function, a return to their natural state.

Amplifying voice and statement
