phæno

Ansel Associates, Inc. completed our work on phæno in January 2006.

phæno, which opened to the public November 24th 2005 with 5,000 square meters of exhibition area, is now the largest interactive science museum in Germany. Ansel Associates managed artists and exhibit fabricators in 9 countries to develop the exhibition.

We take pride in the fact that we successfully budgeted and managed the project such that, at the end of nearly seven years of effort, we were able to complete our work on time and more than 500,000 Euros below budget!

Master planning

Consultion, advice and planning for museum operations, programs and staffing

Active and ongoing articipation in architectural planning

Detailed review of all architectural and engineering planning documents with respect to the functional requirements of a science center
