In advance of opening day, Evidence Design partner Jack Pascarosa contributed an article to the Daily Journal of Commerce’s special feature on the new Burke Museum. The piece highlights how EVD’s exhibition design informed the architecture to realize the Burke’s dream of radical transparency and acknowledges the contributions of the creative consultants that began this journey. You can read additional articles in DJC here. The new Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture opens to the public tomorrow, October 12!

New Burke in Seattle Magazine
September 10, 2019
“A new way to engage with the natural and cultural sciences,” says Seattle Magazine about the new Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture. In 2014 the Burke Museum tapped Evidence Design to realize the visitor experience for an entirely new natural history museum model that reveals its work to the public. We can’t wait to celebrate the Burke’s opening this October 12th.

Dogs! Creating an Engaging and Interactive Experience
March 25, 2019
Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD) posted an article on our collaboration with Unified Field to create the traveling exhibition “Dogs! A Science Tail.”
“Unified Field worked closely with exhibition design firm Evidence Design and the California Science Center to be certain that the experiences communicated their mission and to ensure that all media matched the style, intention and objectives of the overall exhibition. The California Science Center contracted with Evidence Design to develop the look and feel and final design of the exhibition; after developing the overall vision and educational messaging for the exhibit, California Science Center worked closely with the Evidence Design team to develop the graphic style, over-arching illustration style, wall graphics and interactive experiences through an iterative process. Unified Field then interpreted the styles of the graphic identity system and illustration styles into their animations and experiences from dogs, and wolves to cave people and contemporary veterinarians.”
— Marla Supnick and Greg Peduto, SEGD
Unified Field was an amazing interactive studio partner and we look forward to more projects with them.

“Through films, soundscapes and digital interactives, guests can experience what it’s like to see, hear like a dog, and learn how dogs communicate.“

Some howling good coverage of “Dogs! A Science Tail” by NBC4 Los Angeles – KNBC.
“…there’s no need to woof nor howl if you feel as though your life could use more Fido-style learning and Lassie-fun facts…”
“How did ‘one of the most successful interspecies partnerships of all time’ develop? The exhibit tells the story in an engaging way for both adults and young visitor alike.”

New Burke in the News
November 06, 2017
Crosscut, an independent, non-profit electronic journal serving the Pacific-Northwest, posted this lovely article on the development of the New Burke.
The new 110,000 sq. ft. museum will blur traditional lines between labs, collections and public gallery spaces towards a destination that invites the public to share the knowledge and activities of scientists and ethnologists, and celebrates the nature and culture of the Pacific Northwest. This daring paradigm is being tested internally by the Burke’s staff through their temporary exhibit: Testing, Testing 1,2,3. Evidence Design is incorporating the knowledge and feedback gathered by this effort to further inform final design. We are incredibly appreciative of the work and dedication of our collaborators at the Burke!
