The objective of our studio was to create an interactive installation for Canal Convergence while learning the design-build process. We investigated many interior architecture issues including construction, technology, programmatic and environmental determinants. We were also introduced to design concepts, framework, and methodologies relative to living environments. The design-build process called for an effective combination of technique, creativity, and resiliency in order to produce an interactive installation on a tight timeline and minimal budget. Overall, we sought to communicate our understanding of scale and human behavior while engaging in participatory collaboration with industrial designers and the community.
