WELCOME.

Hello readers and welcome to our blog.

We are students from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in our second year in the Interior Architecture program. The purpose of this blog is to follow the progress of the project that we are currently undertaking in our studio class.

A brief overview of the project:

First of all, you need to become familiar with the Weatherspoon Art Museum. It is located here, on the campus of UNCG and is one of the most prominent art museums in the Southeast. Accredited by the American Association of Museums in 1995, the museum hosts over 32,000 visitors annually, accommodates 24,000 students for classes per year, and is equipped with roughly 6,000 works.

If you want to learn more about the museum and what it has to offer, click HERE to be directed to their website.

There is only one tiny problem with the museum, the gift shop. Poorly placed and under recognized, the gift shop is responsible for pooling much of the revenue that keeps the museum running. The problem is, no one realizes that it is even there!

That's where we come in. It is our task to design and build a cabinet, that will exist in the lobby and be mobile to other parts of the museum that will showcase items from the gift shop and thus, hopefully, create and stir interest for the shop itself!

Thanks for following along and I will continue to update with our progress along the way.
