Thanks for the comments! <BR/><BR/>The original plan for the exhibit was to install laminate flooring, however, fire code would not allow it. <BR/><BR/>Currently, the floor in the exhibit space in 1950s vinyl tiles, a mixed green/grey colour. The floors will be stripped, waxed and buffed to improve overall visual appeal, but they cannot be replaced because they are original (the building is also an artifact).<BR/><BR/>Colour choices came from a combination of trial and error, existing schemes (from flags, period photos etc.) and Eric's vision (he'd the exhibit designer). We also wanted to use the scheme to convey a feeling of being surrounded by "the wall", hence the waist-high grey with black stripe.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your interest. I am glad that our work could give you some ideas for approaching a smaller exhibit. Take care and keep checking back for more updates.<BR/><BR/>Grant Vogl<BR/>Curator<BR/>Cold War BerlinGrant Voglhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384842314069127544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437004118320800308.post-68779319214268799542009-02-02T19:38:00.000-05:002009-02-02T19:38:00.000-05:00Is the floor in the museum a wood laminate?

How did you go about chosing the colors for the walls?<BR/>This is a great help to others who are working in design and fabrication.<BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Susan in CaliforniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
