Subject: new exhibit planning

Hi Cynthia Runge

I developed a series of articles on the building and exhibit design process
that includes the RFP process for the Association of Children's Museums.
They are as follows.

"Where do you go from here?"

“1 – What is a Design Team and why do I need one ”
“2 -- The Design Process”
“3 -- Exhibit Design Process”
"4-- “Issues Involved in the Adapting an Existing Building for your
Children’s Museum”
"5--THE PROCESS OF SELECTING A DESIGN ARCHITECT  OR EXHIBIT DESIGN FIRM "

Document #1 is a description of who the players are and who does what.
Document #2 is a step by step listing of the building design process. What
is done at each phase.
Document #3 is a step by step listing of the exhibit design process. What
is done at each phase.
Document #4 deals with issues involved with creating museums in renovation
type projects
Document #5 is the selection process and how to write an RFP.

Remember this is written for Children's Museums but the process is the
same. They are in DOC format so let me know which ones you need.
