Climate Interactive Exhibit Design Process

CLIMATE

        The climate is a broad category that affects everything on the Earth. The Climate is weather, but weather is not the climate. The climate is an average of the weather that happens in a specific area. There are five types of climates: tropical, temperate, cold, polar, and dry. Though not set in stone, generally the climates stay pretty consistent in their regions. Due to recent scientific exploration, there has been concern about the climate change slowly happening around the world. With the climate’s ever-changing condition, the future is unpredictable. If changes are made to reduce the volatility that can come of the climate, there is hope that everything will be maintained. If not, the future is unclear to say the least.

        The overall Climate exhibit promotes interaction for learning purposes. The actual experience of different climates and seeing first-hand the effects that people create on this sensitive aspect of the universe can help inform the general public to take action for a better future. This is not about politics or social reform, this is about maintaining the Earth in which we all inhabit. The space will be organized as far as the layout so that the amount of activity in the space does not turn into utter chaos. There will be interactive LED displays and three-dimensional holograms throughout the space so that the user can easily manipulate their overall experience. The “climate booths” will create a 360 degree experience of the different types of climate zones and their weather patterns. This experience through interaction is about gaining knowledge to make decisions and to change.
