Sequence of Seismic Retrofit - Dr. Roy Tolles

This is not a big deal, folks, the Blue Wing is a small building ;-)

A "Time Travel" Vision

My vision for the Blue Wing Inn is best stated by Anne Peterson, Associate Director for Historical Resources at the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation in her article “Rethinking Exhibition Strategies at the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation” in Boletín, Journal of the California Mission Studies Association Vol. 26, No. 1&2, pg. 98

"Atmosphere” zones will include interior spaces that can be closed off from the world outside to support dense historical environments. Here visitors will be asked to be silent and refrain from touching while being encouraged to use other senses to experience the past. Smells, lighting, audio and even temperature will help create immersive environments that convey the impression that past inhabitants have just temporarily vacated the room

What do you think?
