RISD Grad Show
The RISD Graduate Thesis Show is installed each spring to showcase the cumulative work of all graduating students. This exhibit showcases Interior Architecture as a discipline and displays the 2011 Graduate Thesis Projects.
A series of concept models rest on a glass shelf which is supported by sheets of trace paper suspended from a 30-foot box-beam spanning the exhibit space. This single object defines the space with a simple, poetic gesture.
Corresponding posters are hung along the outside of the space to provide more information, while the shimmering, fluttering, variegated wall of trace paper defines a simple circulation path.
The result is powerful in its subtlety.
