Titanic Belfast

Harcourt Developments

2010-2012

A project with Event Communications

Titanic Belfast is a cornerstone of the Titanic Quarter masterplan and integral to the regeneration of the wider city. Belfast is synonymous with the Titanic and the ship building glory of which it was a part. With a minimal object collection but the fact 'It was built here!', the challenge of Titanic Belfast was to create a truly integrated cultural destination that uses the status of the Titanic story as the basis for the creation of a distinctive and unique destination.

Working closely with Event Communications' Creative Director Steve Simons, Daniel was Lead Designer for Gallery 1 which introduces the city of ‘Boomtown Belfast' at the start of the 20th Century. The gallery explores the cities various industries, the docks and the shipbuilders Harland and Wolff who will go on to build Titanic for the White Star Line. Visitors are taken through an immersive experience titled ‘The Street’ surrounded by large scale projected images of contemporary Belfast city and walking silhouette characters. They can explore break-out areas to learn about specific topics in more detail. The gallery culminates with the vision and design of the Olympic Class ships told through an interpretation of the Harland and Wolff drawing office and a floor projected interactive drawing board.
