Handbook

Exhibition designers design and organise the construction and installation of trade exhibitions, permanent shop displays, museum exhibits and interpretive displays.  They use skills drawn from graphic, industrial (product) and interior design to attract, inform and involve an audience in the subjects that their clients employ them to present.

This course introduces students to the discipline of exhibition design through a real project, the design and delivery of the M. Architecture Graduation Exhibition.

During the course, students will be introduced to the history and  evolution of exhibition and display as a cultural marker in societies; the palette of materials and tools at the designer’s disposal and also  exposed to a broad range of case studies to highlight the variety of possible design outcomes.  Students will undertake a range of design-led activities including the development of marketing/sponsorship material, exhibition layout, signage and graphics.
