Bus Shelter and Shelter Bus Synopsis

Ideal Bus Shelter

This is the ideal bus stop that the seven group came up with. We wanted to incorporate the main tree into the design. To the left of the tree is a seating area and to the right is a standing area. The tree provides a majority of the shade. The main form penetrates out of the ground and continuously works around to create the seating area.

Candelabrum

Candelabrum

The Pair of Candelabrum dates back to the early 19th century. The origin is unknown; it was developed in either France or England. Made from brass, bronze, glass, metal and felt, the candelabrum contains a circular, bronze stand, cylindrical body with a heraldic symbol. Topped with two bulblike forms, brass extending arms and floral candle cups containing glass prisms, this structure stands 14 inches high, 10 inches wide and 4.5 inches deep. It was first developed by the Nichols family, and later Rose Standish Nichols contributed it to the Nichols House Museum in the year 1960.
Looking at this piece I was amazed by the amount of detailing and precision it contained. The amount of time I took drawing this light fixture took quite a bit out of my day, I could not even imagine actually carving and placing this candelabrum together. The decorative manner that this object reveals shows any viewer the emphasis of detailing during the time it was produced. Everything from the glass prisms, the carvings on the bulbs and the figurine on the tapering cylindrical bronze body, states that this statue is very ornate.
Comparing this piece to some others during this period, such as the Four Light Candelabrum by Mortimer and Hunt, I see some similarities dealing with the amount of work and detailing put into the piece. They are both built with extreme craft and dedication. Bold, expensive and extremely well crafted pieces were very popular in Europe at this time.

On the contrary, the "new aged"candelabrum demonstrates completely different qualities as the older pieces. The single stand is made from glass and crafted in a completely different manner then the European influenced ones. It speaks in a more contemporary, new aged style.
This European, candelabrum masterpiece could sit by itself and speak on it’s own, but when added with a highly decorated piece of furniture I think this would look too overwhelming. The piece would look the best by standing on a simple end table. Overall I truly enjoyed the artwork that this fixture contained and it makes me earn to see more from the same artist.

Communicate: Guerilla Marketing

Guerilla Marketing is the process of taking something that people will explore daily and developing it into an advertising product.

Community Outreach:

In reaching out to the community our group wanted to have a centralized sculpture that was a landmark for everything else. This sculpture is to incorporate something that the community would continue to pass on lee street and turn around a question the meaning behind the structure. In there search they will find that it leads back to the interior architecture studio. The sculpture is very important in this proposal, but we didn't want to limit ourselves, so we connected all of our other proposals back to this idea.

People:This is a diagram showing how word of mouth will be used throughout town and eventually, hopefully around United States and even the world.


Place:

In the photo above we marked a location where alot of our guerrilla marketing would take place. The depot is the heart of the Greensboro transit system, so in order to connect with the rest of Greensboro, why not penetrate at the very epicenter? here we would conduct fundraisers to "sell" our products, which include food, pens, stickers, flyer's-all completely free.

Products:
1.) bumper sticker 2.) chocolate candy bar 3.) "wu-wu" t-shirt

Our team thought that by focusing on a single icon and logo, and replicating that in all the marketing, would be the best way to catch people’s attention. The object we chose to use was a sculpture, and what better thing to use than a “wu-wu” to catch every ones eye.
The part of marketing that I focused on was our products. We thought by having a variety of products we would be able to cater to more people rather than focusing on a single product that may only cater to a few peoples needs. So, I made apparel such as t-shirts, bumper stickers, candy and chocolate bars, pens and coffee mugs. By doing this we hope to have everyone, everywhere saying, “what’s a wu-wu”?

1.) chewy candy 2.) "wu-wu" pen with logo 3.) coffee mug with wu-wu IAR logo



Print Materials

These two sketches are our ideas for posters, or handouts that could be handed out, or placed in local coffee shops, or even left with the tip when you are out to dinner. The main idea behind these logos is to attach them to the back of many local companies, shops and public buildings restroom stalls. Our group members all decided that when you are on the toilet there is not much else occupying your time and that you were more likely to pay attention to an add in this manner.

This is a clip that we were going to use to somewhat introduce our idea and the humor it has within the IARC program.

ART


This is an example of the sculpture we were planning on building. It would set somewhere that many people would often walk past and question what it is. Eventually they would find out either by looking at the sculpture and analyzing it or many of the other forms of marketing that we have planned.
