For my space design, I wanted to maximize the experience of the guest or visitor to exhibit. For this reason all of the “guest” locations such as the exhibits, gift shops, cafes, etc are located on the top/first floor while all the administrative/office locations are located on the bottom floor. Additionally, I wanted to make sure areas that benefited from a beautiful view occupied that space while the exhibits were off towards the sides. In planning the space, I also wanted to account for the walkability of the site. Having a museum/exhibit that follows a sensible route is crucial.
