Presidio Officers' Club | Exhibition Design 🏛️✨

The Presidio Officers' Club serves as both museum and cultural heart of San Francisco's Presidio Park. Working with the Presidio Trust, RAA crafted an immersive exhibition that unveils the layered history of one of the city's oldest structures—from its 18th-century Spanish colonial roots to its military legacy. 🕰️ Unpeeling History Like Archaeology Our design mirrors the ongoing archaeological work at the site (15+ years and counting!). Visitors encounter: Artifacts that whisper stories of soldiers and settlers Flip-book graphics where pages turn to reveal narratives Oral histories that make the past feel vividly present 🎭 Multi-Sensory Storytelling Gobo silhouettes animate four architectural eras on the walls 👥 3D soundscapes transform spaces poetically through time 🎶 Heritage Gallery creates emotional connections through theatrical immersion 🖼️ Innovative Display Elements "Living Map" updates as new Presidio areas are restored 🗺️ Timeline walls connect local stories to global events 🌎 Suspended media triptych projects evolving landscapes/faces across three screens 🖥️🖥️🖥️ 💡 Why It Stands Out "Unlike traditional museums, we embraced unanswered questions—inviting visitors to ponder mysteries still being uncovered by archaeologists' trowels." #MuseumDesign #PresidioHistory #InteractiveStorytelling #SanFrancisco #ExhibitionDesign
