Interpretive Planning
It is one of the principles of interpretation that one must know what one is doing for whom and why. Therefore, it is important that the market, the aims and the objectives are all carefully defined.
A design and interpretation plan produced for a museum or visitor centre project would be structured around the following headings and would closely inform the design development process:
Aims and Objectives
Visitor Types and Accommodation
Key Themes and Topics
Link Between ‘In Situ’ and External Interpretation
Compliance with DDA
Implementation: Programme
Implementation: Procurement Methodology
Walk-through Description
Exhibit Information Sheets
Longevity, Durability and Maintenance
Costs
