This is my first built design. The college held a competition to design an information kiosk that would occupy the courtyard between the college's two buildings. The winning kiosk was to be built. Its purpose was to provide a central place to post information and details for events. The design team was myself, Steve Valev, Kris Olmon, and Jaime Walter.

We also wanted it to be an occupiable space, so that it might be more interactive and less of an object for posting on.

It was an incredibly educational experience to actually build the project, as we had to fight many battles, and convince many people of our idea.

Here it is in fabrication.
