Sculpting Harmony
Getty online exhibition about a concert hall, with Gehry's sketches on orange and giant letters
Steal this
Open with the author's scribbles in black on flat color, and a title that grows on scroll
What it is
The opening shows Frank Gehry's scribbles in black on an orange background, and the title SCULPTING grows into huge letters as you scroll. The story is split into interactive chapters (like 'Designing a Space for Music' and 'Reinventing the Organ'), with narration by Gehry himself and music by the LA Phil.
What it’s for
For someone making a digital museum exhibition or feature who wants to tell the story of a building in chapters, with sound and object details.
Benefits
- the architect's sketches as the opening image
- short chapters with a caption for each object (title, date, size)
- narration and music inside the story itself
Caveats
- The site asks for a click to turn sound on and works best with it on.
- Videos and animations are heavy on a slow connection.
