The Finger Lakes Boating Museum is a community owned museum dedicated to preserving the rich history of boating and boat building in the Finger Lakes. This project respondsed to the museum's need of a new museum hall and explored branding opportunities to increase local exposure. During site visit, the team set a secondary goal of improving the way-finding within the museum area.
Pictures taken during the visit to the museum. The museum has hundreds of launches donated by locals on display. It houses a showroom for the boat restoration and also provides courses for both boat crafting and sailing.
Following images are extracted from the development process of the concept and schematic design for museum hall #10, a warehouse that was unused at the time. The cilent had requested a certain amount of boats and engines to be displayed in this newly proposed space. Based on the existing exhibits and the museum's web presence, a new concept and branding was constructed and then taken into consideration in the schematic design process. This part of the project is individual work.
