San Francisco, California

End of Year Commencement Exhibition Design and Curation of Architecture Division Student Work, California College of the Arts, 2018

The End of Year Commencement Exhibition highlights California College of the Arts creative student culture. The exhibition showcases work from the four CCA divisions: Architecture, Design, Fine Arts, Humanities and Sciences. The Nave is transformed into a large gallery displaying the best student work through drawings, paintings, models, and art.

Pedestals groupings have a strong presence transforming the space of the event. Three types of pedestal dimensions are carefully calibrated for seating and standing viewing heights. The groupings are located strategically at oblique angles to engage people, direct pedestrian flow, and create special gathering moments throughout the length of the Nave. After the exhibition, the pedestals are upcycled and used by the students during project reviews.

The pedestal groupings are a simple and cost-effective spatial intervention that greatly engages individuals with the projects displayed and are repurposed after the life of the event.
