Introduction
Architecture
is invading the lower level. The architecture studio is ours, and we´re about
to take over “La Cueva,” the brick-vaulted lounge adjacent to the studio. We
will be using that space for pinups, reviews, juries, meetings, etc. and we
need a series of moveable partitions that will allow multiple groups to use
this space simultaneously, while also providing resilient surfaces for pinning
up material.
Your
job: to design these partitions. The winning entry will be constructed by the
Facilities department. Up to three honorable mentions will also be awarded. You
may work individually or in teams. Good luck!

Program
The
partition design should be economical, flexible, structurally stable, and
durable, and must meet the following criteria:
A.
Panels must incorporate
wheels or other simple mechanism for movement.
B.
Panels must comfortably allow
for the display of at least four horizontal A1 sheets or two vertical A0 sheets
on both two of the primary faces.
C.
Panels must be able to be
stored, when not in use, in or around “La Cueva” and should occupy the minimum
amount of space possible when stored.
D.
Panels must be tall enough
to provide a division of space.
