The Ornithology booklet is meant to be an informational piece to supplement the visual space with information about the life of Charlie Parker.
Exploration 1: The first exploration is in book format and provides spreads separating the information into sections and a connected timeline of pictures. The plastic piece on the cover reflects the glass panels in the space and the circles contrast with the angular quality
of the space.
Exploration 2: The second exploration is an accordion fold timeline of Charlie Parker's life. The plastic panels reflect the glass panels in the space and give the piece more life and movement, reminding the viewer of the music represented in the space. Each "area" on the timeline features an icon related to the time in Parker's life.
Exploration 3: The third exploration, and the one I chose to move forward is an alternative fold out/ accordion fold format featuring Charlie Parker's biographical information. The plastic panel over the first page reflects the glass panels in the space and features a cover and reveal aspect, creating more movement and energy throughout the piece as well as a layered effect similar to the glass panels.
Space Refinements
When refining the space I added triangles to the outside and inside walls create color, energy, and movement and reflect these qualities in the music and changed the font on the glass panels. I added icons to the outside area and text to the floor to lead viewers through the space as well as explain the glass panels and space in general. I also changed the location of the door so users have to move throughout the space to get the full experience and picture.The black lines on the floor represent where the glass panels will be.

Title and Icon Refinements
I refined the titles and icons to reflect the energetic nature of the rest of the pieces.
