Assign: Within Gatewood Bldg, Rm 204: redesign lectern, accommodating functionality + flexibility + manipulability.

Research on learning stations led to the thought of an organic lectern, one geared towards ergonomics, aesthetics, and function. Most existing lecterns are rectilinear, heavy, and static pieces; not allowing for much flexiblity in their typical application, lecture classrooms.

Successful designs included easy to use interfaces, multi-functionality, and adaptability.


Examples above led to the development of the sketches below:

Initial aspects of what is now known as the Peanut Glow were lockable/dockable capabilities, storage, pc/laptop holder, wire/cord storage, wheels, curvilinear, and designated place for standing. As stated before, the thought of a lectern in a common design is usually an after-thought. The goal for the Peanut Glow was to be an addition to the spacing, creating a feature piece for any room and not being singled out as an eye sore.
