    Brief

    This procurement process seeks to appoint a multi-disciplinary Experience Design Team (EDT) to advance the Belfast Stories Project from detailed design through to construction documentation (RIBA stages 3-7). Building on a completed interpretive masterplan and concept design, the EDT will develop a comprehensive visitor experience that integrates the Belfast Stories interpretive framework across all project elements, with particular focus on exhibition design and content. The team will lead the creation of an engaging exhibition that maximizes visitor connectivity throughout the site and into the city. The EDT must comprise core disciplines including Interpretative Planner, Exhibition Designer, Visitor Experience Consultant, and Curator, supplemented by specialists in digital design, lighting and sound, structural and mechanical/electrical engineering for displays, graphic design, curation, and BIM modelling. The successful appointment will manage the entire design team and deliver an excellent visitor experience through integrated interpretive design and innovative exhibition solutions.
