The Beauty in coldness

Stillness

= Capturing quiet moments

These are all traits the group and I are trying to embody with this kiosk. Many of us are minimalist-minded as well.

For the 5th assignment in this class, we have been instructed to create a kiosk with a display and register It would represent a place where a person can buy and sell their objects. Think of the tents at Eastern Market! We decided to go with a new object, a postcard. Our kiosk would be a place where you can buy and sell DC postcards.

The Sunday after we were given this assignment, we met up to construct our first models. We started out wanting to make this kiosk collapsable and able to be broken down and put back together, which would be practical in real life. At first, we were going in an organic approach. So we created a fluid like roof and considered working with silkscreen on canvas fabric. At first, we considered to make the display almost like a partition, but you could "push pin" (cringe..) the postcards on the display. During the process of making the models however, we decided o make the displays with storage space, and therefore created cabinet models. We loved the roof idea, but at the end of the next class, we realized it had no real purpose or real intention. We made a new model the next Sunday.
