- Case Study -
RECEPTION DESK
Lakeview Hall's building administrator asked for a reception desk design the university cabinet shop could build and install in a few weeks. The shop's capabilities were unspecified, so I created this easily modified digital prototype for virtual reality.
Project requirements were a broad radius at the bend toward a central hallway and an arrangement for hiding office paraphernalia. The cabinet makers claimed it would take too long to fabricate curved plywood panels. My sparse 3D model made it easy to imagine without them.
They dressed the desk in natural maple plywood and plastic laminate countertops. Guaranteed to offend no one, it's also durable and easy to clean.
The building administrator said my design was his idea, which was magical thinking. He described a reception desk and I imagined one, expressing my own ideas with actual 3ds Max models and renderings. In visual art and design, ideas have no value, but their expression does.
