kubik teams up
with Frank Gehry
on Biodiversity
Museum
Frank Ghery’s architectural genius and kubik’s special
expertise in the design and production of exhibit
technology are helping the “Bridge of Life” project
become a reality for Panama’s new Biodiversity Museum.
The Museum showcases Panama’s vast natural, cultural
and economic resources, tracing the environmental and
cultural impact of the Rise of the Isthmus and showing
how that dramatic geographic change altered patterns of
migratory life in North and South America. The Museum,
which was developed with the help of the Amador
Foundation, World Renowned Architect Frank Gehry and
RM Engineering, is scheduled to open in the 4th quarter
of 2012. It will feature the finest in exhibit technology and
design housed in an amazing Frank Gehry building. kubik
has been involved in this exciting development for almost
a decade and is responsible for the design, development,
and fabrication of film and interactive displays, as well as
the installation and commissioning of the museum itself.

Maltbie a natural choice for Utah Museum
Maltbie’s unique expertise in museum exhibit development was a perfect fit for the new Utah Museum of Natural
History. Located in Salt Lake City, the Museum is scheduled to open at the end of 2011, in a new 37,500 sq.
ft. permanent exhibit designed by Ralph Appelbaum Associates. The gallery spaces will include eight thematic
areas covering topics ranging from Utah’s ancient ecosystems and first peoples to the cutting-edge science of
biogeography and genetics.


Maltbie started work during the pre-construction phase, assisting the designer and owner with budget and
schedule development as well as technical advice. Our scope of work included the fabrication and installation of all
the exhibit components including fully conserved cases, extensive scenic elements and a comprehensive graphics
package utilizing direct to substrate technology.

Confidence equals
Peace of Mind.
Trojan Technologies is the market leader in UV water
treatment             technology,              respected             for      producing
Ultraviolet technologies that are cleaner, greener
and more efficient than chlorine based systems. Their
mission is expressed in the phrase “Water Confidence” -
the peace of mind that comes from knowing your water
is truly clean. Trojan recently challenged kubik to find
a tradeshow interpretation of “Water Confidence” that
would reinforce their brand strength and have a big
impact on visitors.


With the tranquility of a Zen garden as inspiration, the
kubik team created the Trojan “Peace of Mind” campaign.
The exhibit space was defined by surrounding walls
of upright acrylic tubes that mimicked bamboo, with
many of them internally lit to suggest Trojan’s UV lamp
technology. Inside the booth, we created a modern
Japanese rock garden with Trojan’s unique UV lamps and
purification equipment serving as the stones and the
traffic flow moving around them as the sand. Featured

A new global look
for DSM
DSM is a major Chemical Company with head-offices
in The Netherlands and China and business units in
Europe, the USA and Asia. kubik has worked with
different DSM Business units for a long time, so we were
delighted when, following a recent global corporate
identity update, DSM asked kubik to translate their new
brand positioning into 3-dimensional presentations
for large exhibition stands, B2B events, international
business presentations, and components for small pop-
up settings.


kubik Amsterdam took the lead in a project with global
reach. The project was our biggest yet for DSM, but we
had one distinct advantage: the same dedicated and
experienced people who had worked with the DSM
brand for years were on this job as well.


Our resources from around the world were called
upon to provide production and logistics expertise,
and we delivered turnkey exhibitions, business unit
interiors and special presentations all over the world, in
exhibition centers, congress venues, hotel lobbies, and
other challenging venues.

FALL 2011



Clients are central
at Zurich USA, and
central in kubik’s
designs
The new tradeshow environment that kubik designed
for Zurich USA’s appearance at RIMS in Vancouver
during May 2011, is a showcase that helps visitors grasp
the depth and breadth of support that is available
through the HelpPoint concept. At Zurich, clients are
central, and for the kubik design team, that was the
beginning of the creative process.


The design intent was to bring this “central” experience
onto the show floor. The strategic flow of traffic created
a unique “Help is on the way” experience. From the
moment of entering into the exhibit, and through
each of the engaging stages within, each visitor was
immersed in an environment that presented Zurich as
being focused on them and their needs.

  • 4. FALL 2011 Amsterdam Motor Show: Back on track The April 2011 AutoRai event in Amsterdam provided ample proof that with fresh thinking and careful management, spectacular events can still be created in a cost-conscious world. Even with a focus on cost-efficiency, 2011’s exhibitors had plenty of opportunity to express their individual brand identities to the nearly 300,000 visitors. A range of premieres and concept cars were on display, plus a range of exciting live shows featuring the latest news from the automotive industry. The 2011 show was a development of kubik’s renowned exhibition concept for AutoRAI, first produced as an innovative response to the 2008 economic crisis. The ultimate result in earlier years and again in 2011 was a maximum-impact show for more-than-acceptable costs. kubik designed and executed this concept successfully for many of the most prestigious brands in the industry, including Opel/GM, Chevrolet, Mitsubishi, LandRover, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Lotus and the spectacular Fisker electric sports car. kubik CONTACT © 2011 kubik inc.

The result, when combined with a kubik designed program of interactive Technologies, Water activities before and during the show, was everything Trojan expected it to be. Confidence equals Peace of Mind. Trojan Technologies is the market leader in UV water treatment technology, respected for producing Ultraviolet technologies that are cleaner, greener and more efficient than chlorine based systems. Their mission is expressed in the phrase “Water Confidence” - the peace of mind that comes from knowing your water is truly clean. Trojan recently challenged kubik to find a tradeshow interpretation of “Water Confidence” that would reinforce their brand strength and have a big impact on visitors. With the tranquility of a Zen garden as inspiration, the kubik team created the Trojan “Peace of Mind” campaign. The exhibit space was defined by surrounding walls of upright acrylic tubes that mimicked bamboo, with many of them internally lit to suggest Trojan’s UV lamp technology. Inside the booth, we created a modern Japanese rock garden with Trojan’s unique UV lamps and purification equipment serving as the stones and the traffic flow moving around them as the sand.

The project was our biggest yet for DSM, but we had one distinct advantage: the same dedicated and experienced people who had worked with the DSM brand for years were on this job as well. Our resources from around the world were called upon to provide production and logistics expertise, and we delivered turnkey exhibitions, business unit interiors and special presentations all over the world, in exhibition centers, congress venues, hotel lobbies, and other challenging venues. kubik CONTACT © 2011 kubik inc.
