THE LAWN

Lab at Rockwell Group - 2019 - Washington, DC
Client: National Building Museum
Role: design strategy, 3d modeling, rendering

The Lawn was an interactive exhibition and an iteration of the National Building Museum’s Summer Block Party series. The installation was a celebration of the lawn as an iconic multi-functional gathering space for summertime activities. Visitors of the museum were able to come and connect, play, explore, and discover parts of the museum they had never seen due to the heigh of the observation deck. We also suspended blue hammocks, each of which featured audio recordings of personal summertime memories told by Venus Williams, Bette Midler, Whoopie Goldberg, and Jose Andres, to name a few. Scattered throughout The Lawn were white lounge chairs, corn hole, cricket, and bocce ball, all to be enjoyed on the sustainable “just mowed” looking synthetic grass. A custom soundscape was created in collaboration with Yessian Music to help augment the experience that included bees buzzing and lawnmowers at work. We also developed an augmented reality game that provides guests with a chance to collect and release fireflies throughout the installation.
