Design is Haunted by History~Designing Experiences for Immersion

How design turns history into somewhere you can stand. Some places carry their history in the walls. Others need design to help it speak. Pentagram partner Abbott Miller shares three recent projects that use graphic design, animation, and photography to create a sense of place and narrative, turning archives, landscapes, and memory into experiences you can walk into. He'll take us inside Museo Casa Kahlo, a new museum in the former home of Frida Kahlo's family in Mexico City. He'll also visit Brooklyn's historic Green-Wood Cemetery, where the lettering on its headstones inspired a new identity. He’ll also share Amplified: The Immersive Rock Experience, which brings rock and roll photography to a floor-to-ceiling digital canvas.
