AIA LA 2X8
Exhibit design and construction - Los Angeles CA
January 2019 - May 2019
Each year, the AIA holds 2x8, a design showcase that originally
provided the opportunity for 2 projects from 8 architecture
schools across California to win some scholarship money from
various sponsors. In addition to this, a design competition is
opened to the public where designs for the exhibit itself are
submitted and a winner is chosen to be built for the final show.
Our team of Jonathan Sharp, Christopher Locke, Matthew
Young, Marisa Keckeisen, and myself designed and built an
exhibit that was a forward-thinking take on the traditional gallery
setting. Our design was a winding art gallery around clustered
nodes of engagement. It elegantly performed it’s function
as an art gallery, but one night could host a VR watch party,
while the next night it may accommodate the next Culver City
Neighborhood Council Meeting. When all was said and done,
the cardboard tubes found new homes at local schools and in
artists studios.
