Art + Context

Veronica Magner

This project was one of a small design exercise that put special emphasis on incorporating practical constraints as part of applied design processes. Working within a team of three students, as a team a single common concept for the installation was developed, and subsequently, each member developed an individual scheme for an assigned budgets (i.e., low budget, intermediate, and luxury). Each student individually came up with a strategy for fabrication and installation with approximate lead times and some documentation of how the project expects to meet the budget.  The project presents a sculptural canopy installation in a historic building’s cavernous double-height residential lobby to highlight and define a newly re-opened bar area. The illustrations describe a kinetic installation that folds and unfolds to adjust lighting and spatial conditions.
