DESGIN - BUILD
PARKLET M.ARCH 2015
This Fourth Avenue Parklet was designed and built by Architecture students. Students were assigned to different aspects of the project and given the chance to design details and to build them around the existing Food Cart area. We were first assigned to install the base structure and floor. I first worked on the metal piece both cutting and drilling. Then, within the wood group, I was responsible for wood staining and bench assembling. When completed, we moved them to the site for assembly in the field.
