Virtual Event: Studio Joseph New Work

 

Join us for a virtual discussion with Studio Joseph!

---

Studio Joseph is an architectural practice based in NYC with an expertise in museum and exhibition

Design.

 

Wendy Evans Joseph, Founder, and Monica Coghlan, Design Director, will

discuss two upcoming projects in Washington, D.C.: the exhibitions at the newly

renovated Martin Luther King Jr. Library and a new orientation center for the National

Building Museum. The talk will focus on the process behind the studio’s work as well as

the unique approach taken in the design of both projects, which open in early 2021.

 

Orientation Center, National Building Museum, D.C.: Addressing the fundamental

issues of the historic building’s vast public spaces, the project serves as a new front

door to the museum, providing physical orientation as well as an introduction to the

museum’s mission and content. The exhibition explores broad questions including:

What does the built environment really mean? And how does it affect our lives? Studio

Joseph worked with the NBM to answer these questions in an engaging space that

frames and informs the visitors’ entire museum experience.

 

Up From the People: Protest & Change in DC at the MLK Library: The creation of

an exhibition space as part of the modernization of this iconic Mies van der Rohe

building presents an opportunity to honor MLK while also highlighting the local activists

who influenced him and who continue to build upon his legacy. Studio Joseph’s work encourages a

dialogue between design and content, empowering community voices to shape the

trajectory of the exhibition and tell authentic stories.

SEGD Living Room Lecture Series 4 - Patrick Gallagher | G&A

The Washington, DC Chapter invites you to join us as we continue the Living Room Lecture Series with our next speaker: Patrick Gallagher.

Join us on Wednesday August 19, 2020 at 5:00pm. Patrick will share his background and an overview of his firm, Gallagher & Associates. G&A Executive Creative Director Michael G Lewis and Creative Director Clare Brown will follow with an interactive discussion on the future of shared experiences.

------

G&A was founded by SEGD Fellow Patrick Gallagher in 1999. Over the past 30 years, Patrick has built a strong reputation globally as a leader in the field of Museum Planning and Design. He has worked with every kind of collection from microscopic stardust, to hundreds of vintage military tanks and aircraft, in institutions ranging from cultural history and natural science to sports, music and the arts. A graduate of Northern Illinois University, Patrick is a past president of the SEGD and has served on the board of numerous professional design organizations.

In 2020 G&A celebrates 20 years of creating excellence in exhibition and experience design. These 20 years have seen change in audiences, changing technology, change in the role of museums in society, and change in how we think about shared cultural experiences. Facing the future means acknowledging and learning from this change. As G&A looks forward, we are embracing new definitions and approaches to excellence through audience informed co-design and integrated practices. Join us for an interactive discussion about the future of design, led by G&A Executive Creative Director Michael G Lewis and Creative Director Clare Brown.

David Vanden Eynden & Chris Calori

N.E. Regional: Living Room Lecture Series Presents Part 2: David Vanden Eynden & Chris Calori

The New York Chapter invites you to join us as we continue the Living Room Lecture Series with our next speakers: Chris Calori and David Vanden-Eynden of Entro/CVEDesign.

 
Join from the comfort of your home on Thursday May 28, 2020 at 12:30pm for a dynamic, interactive session hosted by two of the most influential figures in our industry.
 
As founding partners of CVEDesign, David and Chris have spent their careers helping to build, promote, and refine the field of EGD. David is a Fellow of the Society for Environmental Graphic Design (SEGD) and a member of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA). His work has been honored by the SEGD, AIA, IDSA, the AIGA, and the City of New York, and has been published in numerous national and international books and periodicals. 
 
Chris is a Fellow of the Society for Environmental Graphic Design (SEGD), a Professional Affiliate of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), New York Chapter, and a longtime member of the AIGA. Her work has received awards from the SEGD, AIA, IDSA, AIGA, and the City of New York, and has been featured in national and international books and periodicals. 
 
They literally wrote the book on EGD as the authors of Signage and Wayfinding Design, the acclaimed  book that is found on the shelves of many design professionals and which has become a staple of numerous university EGD curriculums. Committed design thinkers and educators, Chris and David have taught and lectured on design at professional conferences and notable universities. Together, they share life, love, and design, and continue to contribute so much to the industry we all care so much about.
 
Our gathering on the 28th will begin with a wonderful visual presentation and be followed by a live interview as well as an open forum Q&A session. Aside from being informative and enjoyable, this will, of course, be another opportunity to join with our fellow chapter members in Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC during this - our second - virtual regional chapter event.
