This studio project involved creating a structure for Nuvu to help demonstrate the Nuvu concept to younger children. We took the basic idea of a climbing wall and added a more collaborative element. To achieve this, we designed the wall so that two people can use it simultaneously. Instead of a traditional vertical climbing wall, we created a system where participants use two pegs to hang from and drag through horizontal channels, making the experience both interactive and cooperative.
