Exhibition & Wayfinding Design
Museum & Exhibition Design that turns collections into experience.
From first curatorial idea to opening night, Studio Basel plans, designs, and delivers museum galleries, permanent and travelling exhibitions, and interpretive environments — where narrative, space, light, graphics, and media work as one.
Museum Consultancy
Strategic advisory for new museums, expansions, and renewals - vision and mission framing, feasibility and pre-design studies, audience analysis, gallery master planning, and long-term development strategy for institutions and collections.
Curatorial Development
Curatorial planning and interpretive strategy - exhibition themes and storylines, object selection frameworks, narrative arcs, and scholarly and community input coordination that keep every design decision anchored to the story.
Content Development
Research, scripting, and interpretive writing for panels, labels, publications, and media - structured content hierarchies, bilingual English-Arabic text development, and accessibility-conscious reading levels for every audience.
Space Planning & Visitor Journey
Gallery layouts, circulation, and visitor-flow design - zoning and sequencing, sightlines and pacing, accessibility and security planning, and capacity studies that choreograph how audiences move, pause, and connect.
Exhibition Design
Three-dimensional design of the exhibition itself - display systems and casework, scenography, materials, mounts, and lighting direction - developed from concept sketches through fabrication-ready documentation.
Graphics, Branding & Wayfinding
Exhibition identity and title treatments, interpretive graphic systems, large-format environmental graphics, Arabic and English typography and calligraphy, donor recognition, and wayfinding that guides without intruding.
Artifacts Photography & Documentation
Professional photography and systematic documentation of artifacts, artworks, and collections - condition-conscious object photography, catalogue and publication imagery, and digitization for archives, loans, and conservation.
Media & Immersive Technology
Film, audio, projection, AV integration, interactive stations, and AR/VR experiences - designed with the content, not added after it - through the studio's in-house photography and film capability.
Fabrication & Installation
Tendering support, fabricator and vendor coordination, prototyping and material approvals, quality control, lighting focus, and on-site installation supervision - protecting design integrity to opening day.
