Project Description
Kiewit Luminarium is one of the biggest projects to date from the Exploratorium’s Global Collaborations team, which partners with civic agencies and organizations around the world to co-create extraordinary learning experiences in science, art, and human perception.
Since 1980, the Exploratorium has worked with national and international partners to ignite curiosity in their communities, from collaborating on exhibits for established institutions to building new science centers from the ground-up.
The world-class facility is located in downtown Omaha on the riverfront. Visitors can enjoy views of the river as well as an outdoor dining terrace.
Massing models are an essential stage in the design process. Thanks to them, an architect will be able to organize the project so that it corresponds both to customers’ requirements and needs, as well as to the environment.
For many large-scale projects, such as urban planning ones, the architects will focus in the first stage on the overall details, which are necessary to closely analyze and study the shape, design, proportions, but also the way they integrate in the space.
Massing models are beneficial for both architects and investors because they allow a more detailed visualization of the shape and design, potential mistakes can be noticed in advance, and this is also a more convenient way to find design alternatives.
