BEYOND FUN: Designing for Play at Chicago Children’s Museum

Given that play is among the most powerful, beneficial and joyful facets of childhood, explore how thoughtful design is used to create and communicate meaningful play experiences at CCM.

Join us in hearing how CCM is embodying points in Friedman’s Radical Manifesto – both having a sense of humor and fantasy, and employing their work for public good. Jenny Schrider, Director of Exhibition Design, and Jon Resh, Creative Director, will discuss how CCM exhibit experiences are conceptualized and designed, and how graphic design is used to enhance the sense of play.

ChiDM Presents is a semi-monthly event series within City of Ideas: Architects’ Voices and Visions. All events are free and open to the public, and held at ChiDM on the 3rd floor of Block 37.

> This event has ended.

The museum is closed until June 30th, 2020.

While distancing we are planning virtual events, moving our exhibitions online, and publishing student design projects. Take care of yourself!
