Projects description
Team PowerHouse (MHCI) – Museu Casa da Luz
Our project aims to create a design solution for the first floor exhibit at the Casa da Luz that is appealing to both youth and tourists. We are re-envisioning the exhibit space as well as developing one module within the exhibit using varied research and design methods. The module itself encourages individuals to think about their electrical energy consumption choices using simple, colorful interactions and a dynamic LED feedback display, as well as information panels with rich supplementary content. Our goals were to understand the unique electricity challenges in Madeira, the construction and narrative of museum spaces, and the best ways to engage museum patrons, in order to create an optimal experience that encourages exploration and learning.
