With the wind in your face you skim the tops of waves when "pffftt!" a whale surfaces, and you feel the spray on your skin. As architects for the new 4D Theater at Boston's Museum of Science, Torrey Architecture and its team of engineers were responsible for getting you in and out of your high-tech seat safely and enjoyably while hiding away the maze of support infrastructure below your feet and in the darkened corners of this fully renovated 98-seat theater constructed within the museum's exhibit halls.
About the Project
The non-profit Museum of Science, located in Boston and Cambridge, partnered with SimEx-Iwerks Entertainment of Toronto to build this project, a "Fully-Immersive Sensory Film Experience". This technically-demanding design and construction project was completed on schedule in early August. We recommend a visit, as the experience is fun for young and old (and in-between as well).
