Lightbox - International Centre for Life - Newcastle upon Tyne

 

Lightbox is new visitor experience sited within a redundant gallery in the Life Science Centre.

The brief was to create a fully interactive space containing a number of exhibits that encourage 

the investigation and discovery of the principles of sound, light and water wave forms.

Working closely with the team at Life we directed the project through from concept to completion of a permanent exhibition.

Responsible for all aspects of the design, as well as the gallery branding, graphics and interpretation.

Lightbox includes major experimental exhibits including the tallest ‘Tornado’ in Europe. As well as a whole body interactive water exhibit, plus, a major art piece for the light section.

It has a completely different atmosphere to any of the other zones in the centre.

Eighteen months in the making Lightbox opened to the public in May 2025
