Voices
competition entry - finalist
MISC. Studio - 2021
"Voices" is a pavilion based on the rich history of demonstration and protest that Ann Arbor is known for. The structure and form is created from wooden boards painted as protest signs that are suspended from a wooden structure. This allows for a modular fabrication and adaption of the structure to different alleyways.

Towards the middle of the pavilion, the signs raise to create a space, an opening that allows for the gathering of people around a central object. The speakers box accepts the role of the historic speakers' corner, a place where free speech, discussion, and debate happen freely without persecution. Allowing people to raise above a crowd and engage with the community, the box is both functional and symbolic.
