Prototyping with ELVIS

Prototyping saves money and time. Every time.

But what’s the right way to do it?

Exhibition designer and prototyping expert Paul Orselli joins me on Making the Museum (the Podcast) to discuss his proven approach: Prototyping with ELVIS.

Paul has created inventive and playful museums and exhibits for decades. He is now the Chief Instigator at POW! (Paul Orselli Workshop, Inc.), a two-time grant recipient of the Fulbright Specialist program, and the writer of the popular ExhibiTricks blog. Paul is also a member of Praxis Museum Projects Group, a special focus of our first episodes.

Quotable Quotes:
“If you don’t have the time and resources to prototype, I guarantee you won’t have the time and resources to remediate the problem that you missed.”

“Plus-ing means you are on the alert for things that are working well, in order to make them work even better.”

“Never fix back things the way they were before. You want to fix them back better. That way the odds they’ll break again keep going down.”

“The ROI on a piece of cardboard is fantastically high, because cardboard costs almost nothing and an experience that works is very valuable.”
