“Reliable Street is a collective space in Ames that works across the disciplines of art, design, and business seeking to strengthen the connection between the public and place-making.” When the owners of Reliable St. artists’ collective approached our design studio, in order to make an outdoor structure that would be suitable for the surrounding environment and bring people of different generations  together in order for them to converse. The horizontal structure, that was created by the collaboration of eighty seven  students and the guidance of five professors,  was broken up into three modules with circulation running across the entire design built. The design consists of  different surfaces that are suitable for both rest and play. The  structure is primarily made of 2 x 4 lumber wood, and also integrates the use  of LED colored lights,  that make the space  even more enjoyable when   visited in the evening. The design both considered the needs of the occupants but it also focused of the ability to create a space for both the community and the  arts.
