Building a Kiosk

Here is our finished "jewel box" - the main display case on our kiosk. Today we finished the welding and priming of the frame. Tomorrow we will paint and on Monday we can start the final assembly. I can't wait to post pictures of the finished project.


...including lots of rotary sanding.

I then learned the multiple steps involved in finishing the glued pieces...

Once our class finally decided on a design we set about constructing the three kiosks. My group is responsible for the College of Art and Architecture kiosk, so feels an obligation to make it a bit more formal. Above is my first experience with gluing wooden panels together. So many clamps involved!

Our third, and most complex, idea involves three popcorn-stand-inspired kiosks, each made out of slightly different materials. You have to get creative with materials when modeling!

It can be configured in numerous ways with the two matching kiosks.

This kiosk idea includes a movable display shelf.

As mentioned previously, my class was charged with designing a set of three kiosks to represent the College of Art and Architecture, School of Architecture, and Student Groups in our building. After analyzing the architectural aspects of the building, each group set about coming up with modeled designs for a review with our dean. The above model displays a three-in-one kiosk that could be set-up in one or three parts.
