Airborne Experience

By : Tinker imagineers

GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN – 14e édition

Discipline : Interior Design

Categories : Culture, Sport & Leisure / Museum & Gallery : Gold Certification

The Airborne Experience creatively immerses visitors in the Battle of Arnhem (1944) and takes them on a journey through harrowing events. Visitors get a first-hand impression, scene by scene. When boarding a glider plane in England, the benches start rocking. The fuselage creaks and they hear soldiers. After landing, the visitors disembark into the Dutch landing meadows. The operation soon turns into a nightmare, as they witness the fights in the streets of Arnhem with German troops. Finally, they join the soldiers when fleeing back over the Rhine river.

History is brought to life through a state-of-the-art combination of realist decors, authentic footage, and perfectly timed light, sound and smoke effects. Besides, the renewal encompassed new scenographic areas, more cinematic lighting and better articulated human figures. But most noticeable is a completely new AV-approach with a 60-channel sound design and more immersive use of projected media.

The most ambitious set design is a town square as a battlefield. Large projections depict historic footage. Visitors leave the exhibition through an area where they reflect on what they just experienced when listening to an emotional soundscape of eyewitnesses. Information on the walls show facts, while crosses overhead symbolise the fallen soldiers.

Tinker also created an impressive film room in which the complex story of the battle is explained in a clear and contemporary way with projection mapping on three different walls.
