A to-scale prototype developed by the exhibit fabricators, further allowed the design team to test and refine these ideas before fabricating and installing the new structures. Here, the design team worked to develop an approach that paid homage to the historic grove of eucalyptus trees on site-inspired by everything from the seed pods peppered around the ground plane to the tapering form of the leaves.ĭuring an early design workshop, children were invited to share their thoughts and ideas for the new outdoor play area, which helped to inform the final design.
Repurposing an underutilized space on the BADM campus, Gumnut Grove introduces a climbing activity area that allows children aged 5–10 to refine their gross motor skills, explore risk and develop confidence in a safe environment. The playful exhibits and interactive landscape experiences celebrate the regional landscape while engaging users through intentional learning opportunities. Within the museum grounds, children and their caregivers can learn about the world around them-and discover the impact of their own imagination, curiosity, and innovation. New exhibits and play areas seamlessly incorporate the latest research into interactive activities and environments.
To reimagine the museum exhibits, the design team collaborated with early learning experts from BADM’s in-house research division. The campus-wide master plan and renovation honors the architectural integrity of the historic site and the museum’s child centered mission while transforming the experience for guests. Located at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge on 7.5 acres of National Park land in Sausalito, The Bay Area Discovery Museum (BADM) features outdoor and indoor exhibition spaces and programming for children from 6 months of age to 10 years.
