What is Design for Exhibition & Museums?

DEM specialises in the design of three-dimensional environments that ‘tell a story’. The design of exhibitions for commercial and heritage practises is continuously evolving and presents many challenges to designers’ creativity and technical know-how. Great exhibitions communicate ideas and information effectively to audiences in purpose built spaces, leaving them with a lasting impression. By understanding the evolving nature of the industry, DEM produces designers who can communicate a story in a 3D space.

Throughout the course students learn how to manipulate space and structure, design graphics, create storyboards and create exhibition content that is targeted and accessible.

Part of the course’s appeal is its studio-based culture where students undertake project-based creative work such as drawing, modelling, written and computer aided design skills.

Projects are extremely varied, integrating theory, professional studies, technology and design skills to promote creativity, innovation and curiosity. We also offer this programme at

masters level with the MA in Design for Exhibition and Musuems; applications can be made online at www.lincoln.ac.uk.

School collaboration with the Hong Kong Design Institute

HKDI

TheSchool ofArchitecture is proud to announce the news of an exciting new future collaboration. Head of School Derek Cottrell, with Principal Teaching Fellow Pam Locker and Senior Lecturer Manish Mandhar both from the School of Architecture, together with Chris Spendlove, the University Registrar, and Linsey Woodcock, the Head of Academic Quality, Standards and Partnerships, have just returned from a week-long visit to our Hong Kong Partners, the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI). The visit was to support our Partners in gaining local accreditation for twoUniversity ofLincoln top-up degrees in both Design for Exhibition and Museums (DEM) and Architecture, to be delivered inHong Kong.

The outcome was that the Accreditation Panel will recommend the approval of both programmes for delivery from September 2014. The Chair of the Panel, Emeritus Professor Alan Lindsay, particularly praised the close working relationship between HKDI and the University of Lincoln which had been developed over a number of years.

The new programmes represent a significant step in further internationalising teaching and learning in the School of Architecture.

DEM graduate now curator in Aberdeen

We like a good success story at Lincoln. Not only do they make us feel warm and tingly on the inside, but they also mean that the people who graduate from here are going on to have good, prosperous lives, and that’s what we’re all about at the heart of it.

Today’s tale of good things comes from a graduate of the Design for Exhibition and Museums BA(Hons) course. Gillian Macnee graduated in 2006, when the degree was called Museum and Exhibition Design, and is now working as Curator of Learning and Access at the University Museums of Aberdeen. We got in touch and asked her for a few words on her experience of Lincoln. Here’s what she had to say:

“I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Lincoln. Geoff and Pam were amazing teachers; it sounds corny but some of the lessons they taught me I still apply to my work today! Firstly that every good exhibition should be about telling a story. You have to find and show that story in the best possible way, and I still always do that when planning exhibitions or workshops. Storytelling is what it all boils down to.

Secondly you have to eventually stop brainstorming new ideas and decide on one. It took me all of my degree to learn that! I kept changing my mind and changing ideas and designs, but at some point you have to stop!”

Gillian also sent us some photographs of her working life so far. We’re sure you’ll agree that her work looks a lot more fun than the average day!
