Left and below: When the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History reopened in 2008 after an extensive renovation, it unveiled a new permanent exhibition for the Star-Spangled Banner. C&G Partners designed one of the largest display environments ever created for a single object. To preserve the 34- by 30-ft. flag (which underwent a multimillion-dollar conservation effort), it lies nearly flat in very dim light. Across from the viewing chamber, an interactive exhibit by Potion allows visitors to explore the flag up close. Multiple users can simultaneously touch the virtual flag, which is projected to actual size, to reveal hidden features and historical facts. (Photos: Chuck Choi) For visitors, it’s a place where time seems to stand still—a place of remembrance. But Washington is also a place where change is a constant. In the halls of Congress, in those neoclassical government buildings, and in the offices of K Street, the wheels of change turn and events unfold to affect our nation—and the world—every minute of every day. These contrasts make Washington a fascinating place to visit, and an exciting venue for SEGD’s 2010 Annual Conference + Expo, June 2–5, themed Design for Change. The SEGD conference last convened in D.C. in 1998, and much has changed since then. This issue will help fill you in on the major changes, especially those that relate to environmental graphic design. We’ll tell you about a new generation of national memorials and our cover story provides a sneak preview of the long-needed signage and wayfinding system for the National Mall. New museums, including a new incarnation of the Newseum and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, have been added to D.C.’s rich cultural offerings. A brand new United States Capitol Visitors Center is open. And a rich and diverse array of other EGD-related work has emerged, from the National Museum of Natural History’s precedent-setting digital wayfinding system to the U.S. Green Building Council’s new LEED Platinum headquarters. We’ll tell you about these. (Come to the conference and we’ll even take you to see them.) segdDESIGN 31
