Element Number:

CE-01-02-220

Type:

Tac8le Floorplan

Intent/Descrip8on:

A raised line tac8le descrip8on of the exhibit gallery.

Fabrica8on Technique and Treatment:

The fabricator shall complete the graphic plan of the gallery a_er the exis8ng exhibit space is demo’d and refinished.

• You-are-here star (keyed to legend)

• Walls indicated by raised lines

• Exhibits indicated by texture (keyed to legend)

• North arrow

• Scale

• Legend, separated from gallery map by raised line, and including raised text and braille

• for all labels.

See ABachment A MONO Produc8on Design Intent Drawings, p. 39, for tac8le map size and examples.

Fabricator shall create base graphic file and indicate the above elements through a combina8on of raised line and textures, and shall propose material for 3-dimensionaloutput that shall be durable enough to withstand touch from thousands of visitors.

CE-02-01-100

Type:

Tac8le BaBlemap

Intent/Descrip8on:

CE-03-04-240 / GL-03-04-240

Type:

Dimensional Graphic

Intent/Descrip8on:

A layered, dimensional graphic combined with wooden material to create a graphic vigneBe based on exis8ng illustra8on.

Fabrica8on Technique and Treatment:

The fabricator shall use exhibit illustra8ons in combina8on with distressed wood planks to create a vigneBe of young Glenn Worthington peering through a cellar window to the baBle outside his home.

• Layer 1: Underlying background image GL-03-04-240 is direct printed to Medex.

• Layer 2: Fabricator shall produce distressed wood planks affixed over Layer 1, leaving gaps for visitors to peer into and see GL-03-04-240 behind (internally lit), sugges8ng what Worthington may have seen from the cellar window.

• Layer 3: Top layer GL-03-04-245 is CNC cut 1/8” NGA with eased edges and second surface print is mounted to 3:4” Medex. Fabricator shall create por8on of young Worthington that does not exist in illustra8on to indicate the rest of his body below the shoulders.
