As the base building of the California Academy of Sciences was nearing completion, RPBW was contracted to assist in the design and coordination ‘kit of parts’ flexible exhibit system with design/builder Cinnabar, Inc.  

Brett assumed the lead role with RPBW in the design, prototyping, and implementation of the exhibit system, along with Cinnabar.  The carefully engineered ‘kit of parts’ was designed to allow for a richness of content to be layered on an economical system of cold-rolled steel channels, plywood, steel cables, fabric, and a three-dimensional wire mesh.  The design intent was to allow this system to position itself three dimensionally within the pre-ordained base building grid of infrastructural and support point nodes.
