The concept of this museum was to educate patrons on the impact that water has emotionally on humans.  I felt that water had so many different characters that I wanted to showcase in fun interactive exhibits.  One exhibit in the museum I thought was successful was the water walkway.  This was a pathway with silent walls of water cascading down from either side creating and amazing experience.  To add to the experience would be projections of silhouettes of seas creatures through the falling water which I think would be an amazing effect. 

This museum was mostly inspired by my ocean classroom experience at Proctor Academy – where I sailed a 125’ schooner from Maine to Puerto Rico for two months while taking classes on oceanography and maritime literature on the deck.  I always try and draw from my experiences while I design - the real trick is getting out there and exploring things that may be out of ones comfort zone.
