![]() ![]() “The human rights piece of the museum is very interactive,” OMNIPLAN’s lead designer on the project Mark Holsinger said. OMNIPLAN and general contractor Austin Commercial were tasked with creating an interactive experience for guests, which will be accomplished through video, audio and holographic technology. Inside the building, the exhibits take guests back in time with modern technology. “Certainly, the museum is educational, but it is about evoking an emotional response.” That did not stop Dallas-based design architect OMNIPLAN from planning a space that interacts with visitors through audiovisual components and other technological advancements to make the museum experience immersive.“We create experiences, that is what we aim to accomplish,” OMNIPLAN director of business development Amanda Buckley said. The museum will remain in Dallas’ West End, a designated historic district that sets strict requirements for building size, materials and color, according to City of Dallas senior planner Liz Casso. To preserve this history, the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum raised close to $70 million through a fundraising campaign, mainly to upgrade to a new 55,000-square-foot facility that broke ground in October of 2017. In a matter of years, there will no longer be living survivors of the holocaust.
