Design  Competition  |  Fall  2014

This  was  a  design  competition  within  our  School  of  Architecture.  The  concept  that  our  team  of  three  designed  was  that  our  team  of  three  designed  was  chosen  as  the  overall  winner.  The  images  that  you  see  are  of  a  small  scale  mock-­up  designed  by  our  team  in  Rhino  and  cut  using  a  laser  cutter.  

The  physical  bench  is  currently  beingbuilt  and  will  become  a  permanent  fixture  within  the  Architecture  buildingfixture  within  the  Architecture  buildingat  Florida  A&M  University
