The gallery is a celebration of 100 years of Clemson Architecture and the students who made that possible.

I was hired as the head grad student to design and build a gallery show displaying 100 years of Clemson Architecture and the students' work. The gallery is laid out as a suspended ribbon newspaper that pulls you along through Clemson, Clemson Architecture, Architecture, and World History, and eventually pulls you into the interior where special moments pulled out in “folly pieces”.

Inside the suspended gallery, we pulled out follies, or special moments, in Clemson Architecture history and place them on their own free standing displays.

I was responsible for the layouts for the Pre-1950s, 1950s, 1960s, 2000s, and 2010’s. I research the time periods and paralleled World History, Architecture History, Clemson History, and Clemson Architecture History with-in the ribbons and used text size to establish a hierarchy between each section. We left blank spaces within the "paper" to show slideshows of student work and lectures. We used multiple rasberry pi mini-computers to completely automate the projection system.

To emphasis the floating aspect of the gallery, we wanted the ribbons of news papers, which were printed on tyvek, to glow. I designed a lighting system made of layered plexiglass and folded polypropylene pieces that could be mounted directly onto the main structure of the gallery.
