The Science of... : Science of Survival ‘Future Designs’ interactive installation

The Science of Survival exhibition is a fun and futuristic interactive experience based around environmental issues. It launched at Science Museum in April 2008. ico were the lead design agency on the project and our role included the creation of the overall brand, the exhibition graphics and a series of interactive installations.

Our Solution

ico designed and built a group of three interactive installations where visitors are able to design their own food, vehicle or home for 2050.

The ‘Your Future Food’ interactive lets users create food from a bean seedling; by choosing options on where and how it?s grown and how it?s prepared. The ‘Your Future Vehicle’ exhibit allows them to design and construct a vehicle; by choosing options on size, style, operating method and power. And the ‘Your Future Home’ exhibit gives them the chance to design and build a future home by deciding on the size and power type and by choosing the things that surrounds it. In all cases the finished creations are proudly displayed on screen and are reviewed by the characters.

The results of these exhibits combine to create a future district in the city of 2050 which is revealed in the ‘Conclusion’ section at the end of the exhibition.
