Bowman Design Group, in collaboration with art director Ed Hackley, has completed a new exhibit for the Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California.

The exhibit uses interactive displays to highlight Scripps’ research about global warming and to educate visitors about what they can do to reduce their own carbon footprints.

This marks the second time Bowman and Hackley have been called on by a major scientific organization to design an exhibit on global warming. Their first effort has been on display at the Marian Koshland Science Museum of the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., for more than three years.

Bowman received the Scripps commission largely because of its understanding of global warming and its experience translating concepts into displays and interactive experiences. “It was critical to choose someone familiar with climate change and comfortable working with science centers,” said Nigella Hillgarth, executive director of the aquarium. “The designer had to understand the balance between good science education and entertainment — and match the standards set by a world-class science institution such as ours.”
Los Angeles-based Bowman translates complex ideas into unique and memorable exhibitions, events, multimedia and print communications for corporations, museums, and other institutions. For more information, visit www.bowmandesigngroup.com.
