Constructing a Piece
These newly fabricated tables, in their colorful juxtaposition to the traditional black and white of the architecture studio, become a vibrant meeting ground for the students, faculty, and guests in the RISD Architecture gallery. The tables provide the setting for the newly developed series of Design Research Seed Fund Table Talks, allowing for informal yet revealing discussions between students and professionals. This dialogue surrounds the series of 6 equilateral tables, modular in form, allowing for a diverse and unique configurations that may shift from speaker to speaker. The bright colors of the tables reference those of the classic board game Trivial Pursuit, creating a playful setting for critical discussions revolving around architecture, design and research. Here the colors become a uniting factor as a centerpiece of conversation and debate, playing along with the roles of students and professionals, furthering our knowledge and perception of design.
