ABSTRACT The choice to create or renovate museum buildings to green building standards is a growing trend for science museums. With access to green facilities comes the potential to extend informal science learning into the three-dimensional architectural environment. To examine how and if museums with green buildings interpret their buildings for the public, this study used photographs systematically taken by researchers in eight science museums across the United States. Results show that recycling, water, energy, green materials, and eco-landscaping were the top five green building themes interpreted by museums. Moreover, all museums use the passive strategy of educational signage to communicate green building themes, though several museums attempted to provide more active, hands-on learning opportunities. The analysis additionally uncovered a series of distinct strategic choices museums made concerning centralized versus decentralized displays, media types, passive versus active engagement, and targeting a range of visitor outcomes from green knowledge to behaviors. The potential for enhancing green building education in museums with certified green buildings is discussed.

绿色博物馆中的绿色建筑教育:八个案例研究博物馆的设计策略

摘要创建或更新博物馆建筑以达到绿色建筑标准的选择对于科学博物馆来说是一种日益增长的趋势。使用绿色设施带来了将非正式科学学习扩展到三维建筑环境的潜力。为了研究拥有绿色建筑的博物馆如何以及是否向公众解释其建筑,这项研究使用了美国八个科学博物馆的研究人员系统地拍摄的照片。结果表明,回收,水,能源,绿色材料和生态美化是博物馆解释的前五个绿色建筑主题。此外,尽管一些博物馆试图提供更多主动的动手学习机会,但所有博物馆都使用被动的教育标牌策略来传达绿色建筑主题。分析还发现了博物馆做出的一系列不同的战略选择,涉及集中展示与分散展示,媒体类型,被动参与与主动参与,以及针对从绿色知识到行为的一系列访客结果。讨论了通过认证的绿色建筑加强博物馆中绿色建筑教育的潜力。
