V&A East Wayfinding and Storehouse Interpretation Design

Tender description

V&A East is one of the world’s most significant new cultural projects. V&A East’s two landmark sites will open at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, east London, in 2024 and 2025. We’re seeking a design team to create the wayfinding & signage across both V&A East sites and to design the interpretation at V&A East Storehouse. We are looking for collaborators that share our vision to make arts accessible to all and who are committed to delivering cultural experiences that resonate with a diverse and underserved audience. This is a rare opportunity to contribute towards the shaping of a new type of museum experience, one that looks behind the workings of the institution, that democratises the objects in our collection and foregrounds multiple voices and perspectives. Lot 1: This brief is looking for a design team to map visitor & staff journeys at both sites, finding ways to navigate that are imaginative, bold and effective in equal measure. The key considerations are: Adaptability, Sustainability, and Accessibility. V&A East welcomes bids from individuals, single creative and design practices as well as collaborative bids, particularly those that are or include emerging practices, east London based practices and those that widen representation within the design team. We expect that the submission will include consultants with experience in wayfinding and signage design, and consultants with experience in interpretation design. The scope comprises: a) Strategy and mapping b) Wayfinding and signage c) Interpretation at V&A East Storehouse For more information please download the mini brief from Delta
