The development of station design provided new dimensions to both the sense and sensation of space. This is to be recaptured in the design of the museum, which requires obtaining an understanding of the influence, implications and impact railway stations and their supporting infrastructure had on architecture, the cityscape and the urban fabric, due to their large size, area and enclosed volume. Station design has contributed to modern design through the need to satisfy the uninterrupted, free-space enclosure of large volumes, necessitating progress in the knowledge of the structural application of the new materials discovered during the Industrial Revolution from which the modern architect is still benefiting. The impact of stations in these three mentioned fields furthermore had an indirect impact on society. The determination of all these influences by stations and their design will form the research subject of this dissertation. / Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Architecture / unrestricted

A pesquisa apresenta estudo de gestão de museu com ênfase na subárea da comunicação e público, a luz de teóricos do campo da museologia, da administração e da educação, com estudo de caso do Museu do Trem de São Leopoldo, entre 2009 a 2012. Apresentando um panorama geral dos museus ferroviários no Brasil, com um relato histórico das iniciativas de criação destes museus, com dados da atuação do PRESERVE/PRESERFE remontados através de entrevistas, além da discussão em torno dos mecanismos de proteção do patrimônio industrial ferroviário. Neste contexto também são mapeadas as instituições museais ferroviárias no Rio Grande do Sul, apresentando a trajetória histórica e cronológica do Museu do Trem de São Leopoldo, desde a criação na década de 1970, o restauro da antiga Estação, as dificuldades com a extinção da RFFSA, as subsequentes reinaugurações até o ano de 2012. A investigação passa por análise quantitativa e qualitativa de aspectos da realidade empírica, encerrando com a reflexão sobre as contribuições desta experiência para a prática da gestão em museus, comunicação e público. / The research presents museum management studies with an emphasis on communication and the public subarea, considering theoreticians in the museology, administration and education fields, with the case study of São Leopoldo\'s Train Museum from 2009 to 2012. Presenting an overview of the railway museums in Brazil, with a historical account of the creation of such museums, with data from the performance of the PRESERVE/PRESERFE reassembled through interviews, in addition to the discussion of the protection mechanisms of the railway industrial heritage. In this context, the railway museum institutions are also mapped in Rio Grande do Sul, presenting the historical and chronological trajectory of the São Leopoldo\'s Train Museum, since the creation in the 1970s, restoration of the old station, the difficulties with the extinction of RFFSA, the subsequent reopening until the year 2012. The research involves quantitative and qualitative analysis of aspects of empirical reality, ending with a reflection on the contribution of this experience to the practice of management in museums, communication and public.

Den här rapporten utgör dokumentationen av ett examensarbete som genomfördes inom Kandidatpåbyggnadslinjen vid Jönköpings tekniska högskola. Inom det jubileumsår som Nässjö stad firar i samband med stadens 100-årsdag var det Nässjö Järnvägsmuseums mål att ta fram en temporär kulturutställning i en tågvagn, vilken ska stå vid Nässjö tågstation under jubileumsårets gång. Genom projektledare hos Nässjö kommun kom museet i kontakt med en designstudent från Jönköpings tekniska högskola, vilken erhöll uppgiften att utveckla den temporära kulturutställningen. Syftet med projektet var att undersöka hur en temporär kulturutställning kan se ut för att locka till sig besökare och intresse från önskade målgrupper. För att konkretisera syftet konkritiserades de till en frågeställning som handlade om hur temporära kulturutställningar och deras grafiska kommunikation kan te sig för att locka till sig önskade målgrupper. Därtill togs fyra konkreta målsättningar fram, vilka specificerade att projektet ska leda till designen av en utställning, tillhörande grafisk kommunikation, skyltning för Nässjö järnvägsmuseum samt ett kompendie där den grafiska kommunikationen visades upp. För att exemplifiera hur en temporär kulturutställning kan te sig och infria målsättningarna inleddes arbetet med undersökningar observationer och intervjuer vid olika kulturutställningar. Därtill genomfördes även observationer och intervjuer för att ta reda på Nässjö järnvägsmuseums förutsättningar för dess utställningar. Innan designarbetet tog sin början utfördes även kortare analyser av skyltning. Designarbetet fokuserades till en början mot att skapa gemensamma preferenser för alla olika element inom projektet, exempelvis moodboard, färgschema och val av typsnitt. Därefter fortsatte de olika beståndsdelarna att utvecklas parallellt, med fokus mot utställningen och den grafiska kommunikationen. Genom tydlig utgångspunkt i de behov och krav som specificerats i designbriefer och funktionsanalyser tog logotyp, poster och foldrar fram tillsammans med bilder och texter till utställningen. Resultatet tog form av visualiseringar över en luftig, ljus och modern utställning inuti en tågvagn. Visualiseringarna ackompanjerades av ett komplett material för grafisk kommunikation, vilken sammanställdes i ett lättöverskådligt kompendie, samt tre olika skyltutföranden till Nässjö järnvägsmuseums olika jubileumsutställningar / The present report is the documentation of a thesis which was conducted within the Bachelor Postgraduate program at Jönköping University of Technology. Within the anniversary year as Nässjö city celebrates during the city's 100th birthday it was Nässjö Railway Museum's goal is to develop a temporary cultural exhibition in a train carriage, which could be showed at Nässjö train station during the anniversary. Through a project manager at Nässjö the Museum came in contact with a design student from Jönköping University of Technology, who was appointed with the task of developing the temporary culture exhibition. The aim of the project was to investigate how a temporary culture exhibition might look to attract visitors and interest from the desired target audiences. To concretize the purpose it was developed into a question, which asked how temporary cultural exhibitions and their graphic communication might be designed to attract the desired target audiences. In addition four specific objectives were brought forward, which specified that the project would lead to the design of an exhibition, accompanying graphic communications, signage to Nässjö railway museum and a graphic manual where the graphic communication would be illustrated. To exemplify how a temporary exhibition culture may appear and fulfill the objectives, work began with investigations observations and interviews took place at various cultural exhibitions. In addition observations and interviews was conducted to find out Nässjö Railway Museum's conditions for its exhibitions. Before design work began analysis of different types of signage was also performed. Design work initially focused on creating shared preferences for all the different elements of the project, such as trough a mood board, a color scheme and a font selection. Continuing, the various components evolved parallel, with a focus on the exhibition and the graphic communication. By basing all designs on the needs and requirements specified within design briefs and functional analyzes a logo, poster and leaflets were produced along with pictures and lyrics for the exhibition. The result took the form of visualizations of an airy, bright and modern exhibition inside a train carriage. The rendered pictures were accompanied by complete material for graphic communications, which were compiled in an easily understandable graphic manual, and three different designs of signs to Nässjö Railway Museum's various commemorative exhibitions.
