Foundational Time Capsule Parti

To initiate the time capsule project, we were asked to come up with five different designs, and fabricate a parti out them. Top Right: Is a monument, reminiscent of Trajan's Column from Rome. The base of the column is similar to a small museum that will serve as the time capsule. Top Left: Each first year student is required to build a perfect cube. I have taken these cubes and had each student to decorate their own cube to express something particular to themselves. These cubes are then abstractly placed, hanging in the ceiling of the lobby of the Interior Architecture building. Bottom Left. Televisions Screens are a great way to display images to a viewer. Here, multiple televisions have been placed in the floor of the lobby. Upon our 20 year reunion, the televisions will display images from our first year in the IAR department. Bottom Right: Here, we have a glass panel that also displays images from our first year in IAR. Middle: Is my final choice and chief idea. It is a wooden bench that will be carved from a tree trunk. Either end will have a drawer in it that will store any artifacts the first year students wish to place inside. The rings on the tree represent the growth and maturity of the students.
