Helping a Global Brand Redefine What a Capabilities Center Can Be
Bluecadet collaborated closely with the team at W.L. Gore & Associates to completely reimagine their flagship Capabilities Center. The project began in an Experiential Masterplan and included a spatial and interpretive design, a suite of interactive and haptic experiences, as well as custom content and film.
Visitors enter through a sculptural corridor lined with motion-triggered lighting elements.
User-activated light paths showcase the scope of Gore's material applications.
The Advanced Materials Spiral is a flexible demonstration space designed for immersive experiences.
The lobby space is designed as an expression of Gore's brand and mission.
