Content Mapping Design Exercise

 I went to the New York Transit Museum; the floor plan I sketched is the exhibition of  New York's Trolleys and Buses.


Big Idea 

the big idea of this floor is to introduce the development of New York's Buses ( ground public transmit). Mostly, it is like an archive of NY buses, through time and some models for audiences to experience the development. 


Narratives

the narrative is talking through the time. The left side of the space is the most narrative part of the exhibition. It is the timeline of the development of ground transmit from 1810 to 2000. And there is also the tech development of ground transmit (from trolleys to buses)


Content

The content is all about the ground transmit of New York in this part; everything here is telling audiences what ground transmit in NY looks like and how it has been upgraded.

Artifacts/Interactions.

The artifacts there are different size models of buses and trolleys. Also, the space of the place is well decorated with a beautiful drawings that can be photographed. There is a crosswalk with traffic lights that mimic the NY street look on the ground. Big size models are 1:1, visitors can sit on the driver's spot or on the bus. The whole place is built on an old subway station, so it itself is part of the collection.

  Your impressions of the look and feel of the whole place. What works, what doesn’t? It is one of the most famous museums in the world. The looby with a beautiful high ceiling set a tone for this great and significant place. I have been here 4years ago, even though nothing really changes, I still enjoy walking around in this place. The museum gives me a classic and historical feeling that it deserves people to visit multiple times. Do you feel welcomed, is the place intimidating or comfortable, what’s the atmosphere? I definitely feel welcomed there, even though some halls are dark, but all the exhibitions are still set up in a very vivid way. Also, I think it is a very child-welcomed museum, so there are a lot of children there, so I feel the whole place is very friendly and dynamic.  Every place has an emotional, social and intellectual gestalt. Do your best to describe it. As a famous museum, this place has already become a culture and landmark; people come here not for s...

  Your impressions of the look and feel of the whole place. What works, what doesn’t? The building of the Musume is a historical building; it gives me a kind of elegant and exclusive feeling. Unlike other museums, the interior design is like a very intimate art salon(or more like a gallery ). I think it matches the purpose of the museum; as a photo museum, they don't need a large space for collections; the mood and the atmosphere is more important. Do you feel welcomed, is the place intimidating or comfortable, what’s the atmosphere? The whole place gives a very high-end feeling. The lighting inside is dark; only works on the wall are lighted up. The atmosphere is kind of like a private art club. I think they do want audiences to have this kind of luxury feeling. Every place has an emotional, social and intellectual gestalt. Do your best to describe it. The emotion is quite Luxury, Exclusive, High-end; maybe it's because of the building? At the same time, it is also trendy beca...
