Team One Dream, after a rigorous application process, was invited to present their work at Luminaria in San Antonio Texas -- a dream come true!
Planning
This event has taken a lot more planning, coordination, and money to pull off since the venue is in a different city, it's outside, and the location doesn't have all the equipment we usually have to rig our pieces.
With the help of our school the College of Fine Arts we were awarded 1,000 dollars and funds for transportation to participate in the festival.
Luminaria is expecting over 30,000 guests this year so we want to make sure that our installation is durable, portable, and incredible!
This has required us to come up with different techniques for rigging and modifying our pieces to make for the best experience.
Floor Plan
Using a collection of photos, videos, and rough measurements I made a ground plan using VectorWorks that my team and I could use to visualize where we wanted our pieces to be. This document was later given to the event coordinators as well as a reference document complete with images of the pieces and their dimensions; pitches for rigging and installation; and concept art for additional pieces in progress to help them better understand our plans for the space.
Facade 3.0
Due to the lack of storage space, we had to dismantle the Facade after the Inside Out showcase. But after discussing with the event coordinators of Luminaria they insisted it be a part of the upcoming showing. This gave me a chance to rebuild it with more structural integrity and out of more durable materials.
Using Vectorworks I have created multiple iterations as well as a structural drawing which will be used to help create the final build.
More Updates to come!
