We wanted to make something that acted as an interactive way of play in a public space. After many different ideas of multiple portable play structures we thought of a large scale game of Tetris. Eventually, after a couple changes and different models we stayed with the box theme but added more to it.
The idea was to build four boxes that when they come together they would spell out different sentences and light up. Five sides of the box would be made of wood and spray painted, and the top would be made out of acrylic. We thought of different words to put on each side of all the boxes, we knew that we wanted each sentence to be positive so it was a challenge.
We wanted to get people togehter in a public space and interact. The boxes would encourage people to take time out of their day to have fun with friends, family, or strangers.
For our final iteration, we made one large scale 16x16 box, and four smaller scale boxes which was enough to clearly represent our project.
