Field Office Fellowship // City Desk Studio

Founded by Ben Awes, Christian Dean, and Bob Ganser, CITYDESKSTUDIO maintains a broad range of design focus - exploring the boundaries that architecture operates within. Between the larger boundless environment (suggested by CITY) and the intense focused craftsmanship of the object (embodied by the DESK).

City Desk Studio's Field Office Fellowship Project

A new sign to invite and encourage: A personal experience in public space / an invitation to see beyond / redirect - Identify a series of spaces on the Walker grounds and the immediate edges that hold the potential to frame a distinct and possibly overlooked quality unique to that space: Each space would have a pre-existing municipal or institutional sign that currently directs and negotiates one’s current experience. A new ‘sign’ would complement the existing sign and invite the public to find a quality of that place / condition that may be overlooked or obscured in part by the existing sign. The sign would also invite the public to respond via a web address with their impression of that space. We would like to work with Works Progress on hosting a web site to gather responses. Can the general “tone” of signing throughout our environment shift / expand / modulate by responding to / encouraging recognition of / framing other important conditions in the public space?
