SERPENTINE SPACE
RPI’s
School

Architecture
was
approached by the local city of Troy and asked to assist with the revitalization of the recently renovated waterfront property. We were tasked with designing a range of creative furniture pieces which could be used to attract the local residents to utilize the property. Each student worked with a partner to research, design and prototype a style of urban furniture which ranged from benches and tables to playground sets.

expansion on multiple axis. As this project was to be used by the general public it needed to be designed for single users as well as groups;. This dictated the use of form to generate various social interaction depending on the arrangement of

As seen from the arrangements of 3, 4, or 5 units there are numerous social interaction that can be achieve. The center lines ow through each unit and identify the expansion points. Once arranged the directionality of the wood slats as well as the center lines
