Abstract
Museums today are dynamic centers for learning, enjoyment, and refreshment, as well as preserving and displaying a collection, therefore they need to consider a wide range of different design factors. Museum design usually requires spatial innovation, besides creating environments that seamlessly integrate aesthetics and functionality. Museums are dynamic environments that engage different experts who have a part in making it from a variety of disciplines. For educators, museum design serves as a dynamic tool for experiential learning, offering diverse extracurricular educational opportunities across disciplines. This research defines an educational procedure for creating a comprehensive matrix of interdisciplinary criteria essential for effective museum design. Criteria were obtained by a workshop with graduate students from various disciplinary backgrounds from related diverse areas. This research provides a better understanding on the interdisciplinary nature of museum environment design through the investigation of international case studies from different perspectives. As a result of this case study research as a qualitative methodology, the suggested matrix attempts to help refine and classify museum design requirements, creating a better understanding of the required criteria for museum design supported by visuals of case studies.
