And our alter egos are off to outer space via Hong Kong’s space museum

Busy, busy, busy. That’s us this year.
The ‘us’ in question is both Marine Studios – the people who brought you the aforementioned GEEK2013 and AIC3 – and HKD, the award-winning museum and exhibition designers.

By day we’re Marine Studios, a CIC company who are all about events, communication, and regeneration. And in our parallel corporate life (also by day – even we need to sleep sometimes) we wear our HKD hats.

Well, we would be wearing our HKD hats except we’re throwing them up in the air because we’ve won the job to redesign Hong Kong’s space museum. The museum’s egg-shaped dome (actually an ovoid hemisphere according to the project team) is a Hong Kong landmark, just next door to the famous Star ferry on Kowloon bay.

The project budget of roughly £2.4m will cover the refit with a host of new interactive exhibits. Our working brief is: ‘The story of the cosmos – back to the big bang, and forward to new adventures in space exploration’.

We’re already rolling on a tight schedule that will see the reworked and rethought museum re-embrace the universe in 2015.
