Doral Glades Nature Center is the City of Doral’s newest city park and first nature center. Parks department staff wanted the focus of the 2,000 square foot exhibit space to be on their neighbor, the Everglades. To respond to the soaring ceiling and wall of windows looking out on the restored lake, we designed a series of cabinets with uprights that holds graphics and electronics. The exhibits include electronic interactives, video, audio recordings, and manual interactives. MAM Exhibit Design worked with Leslie Tharp Designs to create a multi layered steel wall with silhouettes of Everglades plants and animals. The silhouettes were repeated on the walls and in the air above the exhibits.
