stage design

This past weekend we decided to tackle the design of the stage since it seemed to be lagging as other phases developed. Beginning with concept of covering and revealing parts of the stage use decking, we began to develop a more experiential concept about how crossing in front of the stage might begin to connect a runner with the experience of the boardwalk later on. In addition we explored the concept of weaving the two decking planes together visually. By wrapping the wood around the edges we experimented with preserving the edges of the box as well as breaking away from it periodically. Other Adam and I constructed a model that would allow us to look at not only the aesthetics of the planes but also at how the construction details might begin to reinforce the overall concepts in play.
