Concept for St. Pete Florida
An Experiencial Sailing Museum should open up many paths of perception. The wind, the sails, the height of the seas and the elements of the ship, the angles as the orchistrated result. The sound of the actions of the many intricate parts of a grand ship and the different tactile experiences, are all available to play upon the senses of the museum participant patrons.
This museum will be a museum for the senses: touch, smell, sight, taste and hearing. Visitors to this museum will learn through their own perception of what they are experiencing as well as conventional methods.
It is not the purpose of this museum to force feed information into the visitors, rather; to allow the visitors mind to contemplatethe significance of their experiences there. A hundred different people can participate in the same experience, yet; due to the psychology of the exhibits and the participants as well, these people may all leave with a different perception of the event.
A very good example of allowing the people to use their perceptive imaginations as part of the understanding of what they are to experience is with Le Corbusier's chapel at Ronchamps. No two people have the exact interpretations of what the architecture means to them. Corbu designed to facilitate the expansion of the human thought process.
Just as Le Corbusier employed the extensive use of analogies of form, lighting, scale and color for the purpose of freeing up the perceptions of the visitor; The National Museum of Sailing by Tim Norwood will take hold of the participant's heart and evoke a lifetime of understanding of the true experience of the grand tall ships.
