Oweninny Wind Farm

Client: Marcon

Designer: Tandem

Scope: Physical Interactives

We are proud to be part of Marcons team to design develop, build and install a variety of physical interactives for this prestigious project to help interpret the science of wind energy to visitors in an engaging and accessible way.

We were issued with early stage concept ideas for physical and mechanical interactives, the client wanted to work with a company who could develop these ideas and provide the client team with detail designs for approval.

All the interactives are based on a family audience and need to be accessible to all visitors. However, the client team did not want the interactives to be childlike and wanted them to compliment the look and feel of the gallery as well as being accessible for all ages and ability. The tactile interactives are high quality, robust, durable, easily cleanable and safe for all visitor use. The centre will receive a high volume of visiting school parties so the tactile interactives needed to be able withstand high level of usage, with low maintenance solutions.
