a sort of suspension of the mind between ignorance and enlightenment that marks the end of unknowing and the beginning of knowing. --Essayist Adalgisa Lugli |
"Working with [Wondercabinet] proved to be one of the most pleasant and productive professional experiences in my twenty odd years of exhibit design." --Erich Rose, former Director of Exhibits, Staten Island Children's Museum. Currently Exhibit Manager, Austin Children's Museum. Clearly Interested in a Team Approach "Wondercabinet always responded thoughtfully and promptly to input from our internal group. They demonstrated a deep commitment to understanding our context and specifics of our audience (very young children). "While they were not afraid to exercise their considerable creative talents toward creating a fun and rich environment, they were equally careful to listen, and incorporate our staff's ideas. They are clearly interested in a team approach." --Aaron Goldblatt, former VP of Exhibits, Please Touch Museum. Currently at Metcalf Architecture and Design. Enlivened the Architecture "They provided expertise to our client that reinforced and supported our design while delivering timely exhibit designs that pleased the owner and enlivened the architecture" --Abby Lawson, Carter Design Associates, architect for George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center. Identified Creative Solutions ". . . during the design process we discovered that some of our initial ideas did not comply with ADA standards. Wondercabinet was able to help our team identify creative solutions to these challenges and develop fun and engaging designs within these tight parameters [a limited budget and small space]. "What impressed me most about Wondercabinet was their sincere concern about delivering exactly what we wanted for our exhibit. Our team especially appreciated the Wondercabinet staff's ability to truly listen to everything we said and incorporate our museum's specific needs into their designs. . . in addition to being excellent listeners the Wondercabinet designers also provided unique ideas of their own." --Jillian Finkle, Exhibit Developer, National Children's Museum. An Advocate for the Visitor "I had never produced a full-scale, three-dimensional exhibit before. Wondercabinet led us through the process step-by-step. They presented a logical structure for getting the job done, while ensuring that a myriad of important details were tracked and handled properly. "Unlike other designers I've worked with they are very focused on being an advocate for the audience or the visitor. They were also very quick to understand our rather esoteric content and skilled at asking the right questions to focus the project in the right direction." --Gail Porter, National Institute of Standards and Technology. You Can Really Build From It "The true test of how good Wondercabinet's work is, is that you can really build from it." --Mark Catton, Principal, MurphyCatton, Inc., exhibit fabricators. Created a Seamless Dialog "The Wondercabinet team has been able to create a seamless dialog among the Foundation, New York State, donor and architects to achieve consensus and movement in this project." --Lorraine Gilligan, former Director of Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park. Innovative and Creative "We have found Wondercabinet to be innovative and creative in their approach to exhibit design. At the same time, they are highly professional in managing projects, keeping the project on schedule and within budget. Although they are a small firm, they bring a great depth of experience to the projects." --Ruth Raphael, Park Planner, Boston National Historical Park. |
