While as designers we are familiar with the concepts of habitus and market profiles so I will not expand on them here, however, few of us are experienced in educational psychology. If I were to carry an academic study of these perceptions this is an area of I would look at quite closely. I would argue that the design industry would do well do invest in proving that what we know to be true can be scientifically proven, and to recognise that it is not always so. When we talk about the authenticity of experience, and whether design makes a difference, we need to understand of whom it is true and of whom it is not. Most importantly, why these differences exist. My suggestion is that the answer will not be found in questions asked by market researchers or sociologists. I think the answer will be in neuro-science and educational psychology. My suggestion would be that designers work with researchers to design the evaluation methodology Allison Johnson55 • I think the relationship users have with spaces and the perception of authenticity is a factor of target market and also of learning style.

Exhibits that don't allow for audience evolution amt not have the engagement and authenticity we are attempting to pin down. I think the point can be extended to entire institutions

Thinking about “old favorites” perhaps an evolving exhibit must allow for evolving audiences. Exhibits that don’t allow for audience evolution amt not have the engagement and authenticity we are attempting to pin down.

Hey Wayne,

I’m sure you’re not referring to this but I wanted to point out the old school experience of returning to a museum over and over to see new exhibitions, where the museum evolves, or even old favorites, which change as we evolve(grow older).
