The 55,000-square-foot museum houses some exhibits from the previous Dallas Holocaust Museum/Center for Education and Tolerance, which was across the street, but a majority of the exhibits are new, their content designed by Berenbaum-Jacobs Associates. The campaign to build the new museum was $73.5 million, with over $78 million raised as of the opening. Yelp is a fun and easy way to find, recommend and talk about what’s great and not so great in Phoenix and beyond. The Omniplan team used this time to develop the delicate narrative and sequencing of visitor experiences to create the journey through history. Omniplan Plan in Phoenix, reviews by real people. Once awarded the project, Omniplan spent six months working with exhibition designer Edward Jacob to thoroughly understand the requirements of the exhibit spaces. The project kicked off with a competition for the design of the museum in 2013. Beginning the experience in this manner is strategic and deliberate, designed to remove the visitors from the world outside the museum and immerse them in the exhibits. From there, they climb a processional stairway to the third floor to start the journey through the museum. Inside, museum visitors start off by seeing a short film in the 200-seat theater. The exterior facade is designed to “mimic movement through the exhibit,” said Omniplan architect Mark Holsinger. Through BIM coordination between Omniplan and Baker Triangle, the wall panels were modeled and prefabricated in full-height, 8-foot lengths, then brought to the site ready for the copper cladding to be added. Before the copper installation on the facade, the exterior walls were cleverly prefabricated off- site.
OMNIPLAN ARCHITECTS SERIES
In actuality, a series of flat-lock seamed sheets uses the 36-foot-length coil of copper material efficiently. The copper pattern ascends the facade in concept renderings as a rectilinear puzzle of panel material. The shimmering metal exudes a sense of importance and, as it weathers, will reinforce the feel of permanence and character. Copper, commonly used in Texas as an accent material, forms a significant portion of the exterior building facade.
OMNIPLAN ARCHITECTS SKIN
Black brick with punched openings makes up the lower portion of the building, a departure from its natural brick neighbors but also creating a strong foundation for the copper skin above. They relate to both the neighborhood’s current architecture and to its industrial nature from the early 1900s, but are also different enough to stand apart.
