TWO X TWO

Two x Two was a design + build project the entire second year architecture students at Iowa State University worked on collectively. The challenge we were aiming to tackle was the lack of public interaction in the atrium space in the College of Design at Iowa State University. We combined 5 different studio's takes on this solution and used two x two boards in a scissor pattern to make new public spaces that could be used by a single person, small group, or large group. After constructing, the users of the space asked us to keep the installation in the atrium for longer, and Rieman Gardens asked us to use it at their gardens. Additionally, our build was on ArchDaily's "The Best Student Design-Build Projects Worldwide 2016". (https://www.archdaily.com/794566/the-best-student-design-build-projects-worldwide-2016)
