Rough Panel Ideas

***EDIT***

Oh hey... I'm not going to be able to make the meeting next weekend (and possibly the one after that) seeing as I'm going to be going to California. I doubt this actually matters, as none of my panels will be chosen. However, just thought I'd give a heads up.

***********



Here are four rough panel ideas, (dunno, not completely really happy with any of them, except the for Dave's.)




HISTORIC (Inform and Involve)
The historic panel is Dave's idea; this one comes with shadowboxes when fronting pedestrian areas, with additional pictures and historic information.




MODULAR (evolve and excite)
Modular panels are just square pieces of patterned plexi or plywood bolted onto another sheet of plywood. Strips of them are hinged, and they can be strung with tensile wire to the bolts in order to create benches and overhangs. This was inspired by Lacey's idea, although it doesn't have the wire running Jacob's latter-like through the panels themselves.




1) RELAX: (Bench and Sunshade) I liked this panel type enough to submit it again as an actual design. The collapsible benches and sunshades are easy to assemble and make the panels equally easy to move around. They could also function as permanent stops if the foundations were sunk into concrete.



2) PROJECT or INFORM: (screen and display) The Project panel takes a tangent idea Jess and I had and implements it. The Project panel features interior panels and doorlike-exterior panels. The exterior panels can have either signage or Advertisements, and can close up over the interior. The interior is either white, with shadow-cast projections from solar lights, or has information about the Redline- or even more advertisements. The thing about the exterior panels and signage is that they face the drivers FACE on when the automobile is coming towards it, making them more visible.

It's worth noting that after use, these can be installed in parks for movie screenings and suchlike.


3) VIEW: This simple panel features two portholes- alluding to Baltimore's nautical nature. It allows viewing of the construction process- but with a plexiglass panel hammered to the back of the board to prevent people from getting injured from flying debris. Unlike the other panels, these have fairly limited utility post-construction (although if you wanted to have graffiti/stencil contests on them and stuff that might be cool).
