MuCEM: Museum of European and Mediterranean
Civilizations
Suspended between sky and water, floating at the entrance to
the Vieux Port in Marseille, the Mucem is building new bridges.
In its very location the museum is a major project for the
Mediterranean, reshaping its future and forming a meeting
point for its two shores. This is the first time that a museum
has been devoted to the cultures of the Mediterranean: the
Mucem is unique in that it retraces, analyses and sheds light
on, in a single dynamic and a single place, the ancient
foundations of this fertile cradle of civilization, as well as
the tensions that have been a feature right up to the present
day.

Battle of Bannockburn by National Trust for Scotland,
Historic Scotland & Bright White Ltd
The Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre represents a unique
approach to battlefield interpretation. The proposition to
visitors is to fight their own battle of Bannockburn, which
they do via a 30-player battle simulator. This puts serious
gaming at the centre of a world-class interpretation centre
for the first time. No physical objects have survived from the
battle, and as such the basis of the interpretation is the
written historical record. The designers created a variety of
innovative digital interactive presentations to tell the story.
Chris Walker is a founding director of Bright
White Ltd. Chris has a passion for driving innovation in
learning and museum interpretation. He has been lead designer
on many international projects, and helped win awards for both
innovation and recognition of excellence in heritage
interpretation. Chris is also a founding director of Virtual
Case Systems Ltd, and a founding member of the Guild of Media
Arts in his home city of York, UK. The Guild is the first new
guild in the city for 700 years.

encouraging alternative ecological and small scale uses.

British citizen who moved to Germany 18 years ago after a career
in social work in the UK, the USA and Ethiopia. He has three
children and six grandchildren, all living in the UK.
