The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830–1930

This exhibition was divided in two sections on either side of the reception desk. The unique architecture posed a challenge to engage the audience to visit both sides with way-finding signage. It also increased the space-planning complexity because of the additional components to the art objects, including multilingual texts, 2 video displays, 1 interactive audioguide map, an extensive historical timeline, and an information graphic. As the exhibition design lead, I directed the junior designer on producing a supplementary newspaper take-away offering the same content in Spanish and English.

The infographic and timeline bookended the exhibition and helped convey the growth of Latin American cities between 1830 to 1930. The infographic achieved this by visualizing quantitative data. While the timeline identified pivotal moments between these years in three sections; politics & economics, culture & arts, and urban projects & town planning. The timeline contained artwork and facsimiles.
