A series of custom designed light fixtures reinforce the architectural order of the Children’s Museum in Seattle. Flamboyant and colorful pendant luminaires, individually decorated by children, define the museum’s major public gathering space while reminding us of exactly whose space we are in. At the main entry space, “Museum Square,” trays of colored lights (red, green, and blue) are controlled by big child-height buttons on the walls, inviting visitors with the message that this is a place for hands-on learning. The project, designed with Susan Rhodes and Denise Fong of Candela, was recognized by the Puget Sound Chapter of Illuminating Engineering Society of North America with an Edwin Guth Memorial Award of Merit, and was featured in the January 1997 issue of LD+A, Lighting Design + Application.
