Take a look at this article by Domus on our project for St. Nicholas Church, "on the occasion of the reopening of the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine in New York, rebuilt by Santiago Calatrava after 9/11, the experiential design agency G&A created a digital platform to make the visit experience accessible to everyone." https://lnkd.in/girwZiz9

Excited to share that Jonathan Cohen, our Director of Technology, recently joined the Experience by Design Podcast hosted by Gary David and Adam Gamwell, Ph.D. to explore the evolving role of design and technology in creating immersive museum experiences.

Adam Gamwell, Ph.D. and I had a great conversation with Jonathan Cohen of G&A about the design of reverent spaces and the role of technology. We went deep on discussions of remembrances of tragedies and horrific periods in history, and how we can design to immerse and connect people with those moments so that they are emotionally connected with them. Themes we hit on ➡ Evolving Nature of Design and Technology ➡ Emerging Technologies in Museum Experiences ➡ Enhancing Education with Technology ➡ Importance of Technology to Preserve Stories ➡ Reverence Spaces and Collective Experiences ➡ Reconciling Identity and Historical Trauma It was a great conversation, and definitely worth listening to at a time when we are not just trying to never forget, but also never letting happen again.

Working in conjunction with our partners at New York City’s storied St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine, as well as the creative minds at Iconem, we were able to launch an app faithfully recreating the shrine, celebrating this religious icon tragically destroyed on 9/11.
