INTERIOR DESIGN INSTALLATION
The design of a temporary, public, information kiosk/building/ sculpture/installation intended to inform the public about the profession of interior design. This is an idea/conceptually oriented project. The final design must inform the public about the profession as a whole or some specific aspect of the profession. You must identify what you will inform the public about and have the installation support that task.
design requirements
Can provide an overview of the profession or focus on one or two aspects of the profession. Students must identify what information (big idea) they are sharing with the public and the design must support that. No larger than 100 sqft total. Must fit within a 10 w’ x 10’d x 10’h interior space (it will be installed inside buildings with existing general lighting, one power location, and no roof is required but is optional if roof related to concept). Must relate to concept developed (big idea) by student based on reference material. Should provide visual connection to profession or concept developed by student. Ease of construction, installation/de-installation and moving must be considered. Consider after hours security (make lockable or vandal-proof).

Informational content (this can be info graphics, digital interactive, video or other inventive method). Podium, shelf or similar item for postcard or print material or QR code.

inspiration
design concept
The concept behind this design is to inform the public about universal design through an informational installation. By creating a visually pleasing display, the open-concept design will attract the public to freely walk throughout the space while also focusing on the graphically displayed information.
Universal designers renovate spaces in order to make them more accessible. Universal designs benefit everyone, and I want to make that the main focus of the design.
