The Mind Museum: Mobius Strip

Viewers get to immerse in the magic of the mobius strip in this larger-than-life exhibit. They can climb up and slide down the surfaces and really appreciate the single-sided wonder.
More about The Mind Museum here.

The Mind Museum: Giant Rainsticks

The transparent oversized tubes show how pebbles rushing through crisscrossing rods create the rain sound effect in the aptly called Rainsticks.
More about The Mind Museum here.


The Mind Museum: Drums


Jumbo-sized drum heads have reflective membranes inside, letting the users (presumably kids) see their reflections deform as they hammer away. Masochist observers can also walk into the drums which in turn would prompt the question: "Feel the beat yet?"More about The Mind Museum here.

The Mind Museum: Gravity Exhibit

A balance between centripetal and centrifugal forces keeps the moon in orbit around our planet, and this exhibit shows a motorized model of the moon being spun around the earth. Viewers are allowed to tip that balance by being given control of the moon's speed (see the big red speed dials?). Too slow and the freely hung moon crashes into the earth. Too fast and the moon moves farther away, eventually "escaping" its orbit.

Betonit Booth at Conex 2009























The booth I designed for Betonit at WorldBEX was meant to be modular, and this setup at Construction Expo 2009 (April 23-26) shows it covering half the original space at 3m x 3m. Had to cheat a little - having to overlap some pieces - but all were nicely concealed.

Betonit Booth at WorldBex 2009

Here's the booth I designed for my regular client - Betonit/Altamira - showcasing their products in WorldBEX 2009 (March 18-22). Being my first exhibit booth design that was to go on to production, I made sure I was on top of everything and sweated the details - from arranging the content, specifying dimensions for each pre-assembled piece, and making the components friendly for transport and open to reuse.





I should again give credit to my contractor who faithfully followed my drawings. And as you see here, it does appear as it was drawn.
