The Hot Air Balloon, inspired by the story “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” by Dr. Seuss, is one of the most iconic and noticeable pieces in the Muncie Children’s Museum. As lead designer of this piece, my role was to take the existing schematic design and reinterpret it in order to bring it to life. Aesthetics, safety, budget, and durability all had to be taken into account during the design process, and in effect created constraints that positively influenced the final design of the project.
