EVENT SPACE PLANNING structure + sound booth
After receiving planning permission for the event to be held in the bus station, a temporary structure was designed to section off the area. The structure needed to maximise the available space and provide a clear distinction between the event space and the rest of the station, which would still be in use on the day. The final design [1] composed of a scaffolding frame clad in canvas, which could then be branded with the Gate 81 logo. Students were also responsible for the design and curation of the space, sourcing the materials, providing the required drawings and dimensions for the suppliers and the final set up of the structure. Another element that had to be designed was a sound booth [2] to film feedback on the day, which a few students were responsible for. The requirements for the design included space for

the necessary tech, seating and privacy to be adaptable for future events and off a manageable size to fit within the rest of the event space. The necessary drawings were provided and the final design was built by a local joinery company.
