THE MODULATED TOTEM CATALOG 2017 - 2020
The catalog is a way to allow the freedom for a school to choose a design that fits their program. Flexibility is the key and the ability to invite a democratic decision to take place within the school's ecosystem. Furthermore, the catalogue can invite sponsorship, disaster relief solutions, and new markets: hence, creating a new market for designers.
DESCRIPTION: For schools that can only afford one modulated totem, the designs below can be chosen. These designs are designed by students, teachers, architects, and neighbors.
DESCRIPTION: For schools that can afford two modulated totem, the designs below can be chosen. These designs are designed by students, teachers, architects, and neighbors.
