Concept for an on-site interactive catalogue experience that invites visitor’s participation in a museum exhibit. This was in response to the ask: "Your challenge is create a design solution that encourages and persuades encourage and persuade people to adopt more energy-saving behavior instead of just informing." This project was done in collaboration with students from the School of Fine Arts and Human Computer Interaction Design programs at Indiana University Bloomington. My teammates for this project were Sasha Chaplin, William Duxbury, Yizhou Pan, and Mary Prusha. This is one of the projects for Marty Siegel's Rapid Design for Slow Change course at Indiana University Bloomington.

1. Buckminster Fuller:
A Tremendous Bundle of Experience
Sasha Chaplin, William Duxbury, Yizhou Pan, Mary Prusha, Angélica Rosenzweig

3. “Fuller's true impact on the world today
can be found in his continued influence
upon generations of designers,
architects, scientists and artists working
to create a more sustainable planet.” [2]

4. Fuller’s Vision
Fair access & distribution of resources
Connectedness
Sustainability

5. Core
Increase understanding of Fuller’s vision
through an on-site interactive catalogue
experience that invites visitor’s participation.

6. “You can experience art from all angles
at the Indiana University Art Museum.” [1]

7. The IU Art Museum already
encourages visitors’ participation
through its installations.

8. “How do we make the world work for
100% of humanity in the shortest possible
time through spontaneous cooperation
without ecological damage or
disadvantage to anyone?”
- Buckminster Fuller

9. “How do we make the world work for
100% of humanity in the shortest possible
time through spontaneous cooperation
Through the exhibit and catalogue we are embodying spontaneous
cooperation as a driving value.

10. About the Catalogue
On-site interactive catalogue
Encourage visitor participation
Educate about Bucky’s vision

11. Meet Sarah and Jenna
Julie & Brittany are undergraduate
students at IU.
One of the items in their bucket list
is to visit the Art Museum, so they
decided to visit one weekend.

12. They notice the featured
exhibit on Buckminster
Fuller’s work. But they are
not familiar with any of it.

13. As they enter the museum, they notice a large geodesic
dome with a rotating globe depicted. Curious, they each
tapped on the dome, and they notice a menu appear.

15. Meet Lance
In the About section she reads a biography of Fuller and
his legacy. She can navigate back using the arrow.

16. She then chooses the Designs section.

17. And she chooses the Dymaxion Car from
the Designs sub-menu.

18. She is able to read more about each of the designs. By
swiping to the left, she can view other designs.

21. Once they are done exploring, they go
through the rest of the exhibit.

22. Josh is a graphic designer in
Bloomington.
He is familiar with Fuller’s work,
and decided to go see the exhibit
dedicated to one of his design
heroes.

24. As josh enters the museum, he notices a
dome and people interacting with it. But he
chooses to start with the exhibit.

26. Josh notices a small display prompting
him to reflect where would he see this
design implemented in the world.

28. As he exits the exhibit, Josh notices different text
bubbles that appear pinned to the world map,
similar to what he saw inside the exhibit.

29. Josh chooses to participate, and taps on the map, in the
Participate section.

30. Where do you see Fuller’s Designs making a
difference? Pin it!
He sees a similar screen as inside the exhibit. He can zoom in
to a specific area, and tap where he wants to pin a design.

He chooses a design and adds why he believes it makes sense
to have it in Bloomington.

When he is done, he sees a small bubble appear in the area where
he pinned it. This will then become part of larger display.

33. Conclusion
We created an on-site interactive catalogue to drive visitors
into the IU Art Museum. Through this catalogue we are relating
Buckminster Fuller’s ideas and visions to everyday life.

34. Thank you! Questions?
Exhibition Wireframe
Special thanks to Marty Siegel and Paul Brown

35. Usability Test
3 participants
Key takeaways
Expecting to tap the dark
area to exit
Hard to see “back” arrow
Need clear call to action in the
“participate” section
