Gilder Center for Science, Education & Innovation
Museum Exhibit
The new 230,000 sq. ft. Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation in New York opened with exhibitions that unveil nature’s hidden realms. The four exhibitions designed by RAA include live insects, floor-to-ceiling displays across floors, and a 19-foot quartz vein, focussing on a design that represents nature through its naturally occurring shapes and geometry. When RAA was formulating a design approach for this project, one aim was to align the spaces aesthetically with the architecture and shapes inherent to nature. It is meant to bring the immersive exhibitions to life, blending them within the spectacular building.
