LOCATION

Plumb-line from site location on Parma map to model.

Floating Frame

Designed to accommodate a large range of models and drawings from Unit E 2015. Student projects focused on a range of public buildings regenerating parts of Parma, Italy. A teal coloured timber frame floats above the existing flat display surface, lightly touching the ground. The frame allows for a large model with bespoke supports to hover above a lower layer of sketch models, material tests and artifacts related to the same project. Plumb-lines hanging above the physical models trace back to their location on a city map.

DRAWING FIXTURES

Bespoke corners, lifting the drawing and creating a shadow gap.

London Redesign

After success in Oxford the frame was redesigned to be the main feature at the Oxford Brookes School of Architecture exhibition in London. It accommodated a new range of models from different design units alongside Unit E. This involved creating a new lower table with improved lighting system.
