The Problem : Going on the bus in Boston is not an exciting experience and waiting for the bus is even worse because you have to wait for long periods of time and there’s absolutely nothing to do.

The Solution : The Guest Book Structure

Detailed solution: The Guest Book Structure is a place for people to come and write and express themselves. We believe that everyone has a story, but not necessarily a place to express how they are feeling so this is a perfect way for everyone to collaborate on something that is also very personal.

Main Story or Theme:
Two weeks ago our studio was given the challenge of creating an installations that would make waiting for the bus a better experience. We had to find a project that could connect the people at the bus and also keep them entertained. We believe that the Guest Book Structure is a …show more content…
We first started out with the poster holder idea because it would protect the messages from the elements and from being stolen, but we thought it looked to literally like a book so we changed to our second idea which was the fortune teller structure. With the fortune teller structure we liked the movement of a fortune teller and the way it folded so we thought about making that the base of the structure. We liked with the fortune teller structure because there could be some hidden messages and you would have to work to find them. This piece however, we quickly found out was not a possible project in the time frame that we were given and the number of hinges that we would’ve needed to use. After lots of brainstorming we finally decided on the structure that encompassed the pole. We thought not only did it look really cool and artistic but it also allowed the opportunity for hidden messages and an easy way for people to express

    Route 99 Observation

    The route 99 — Commercial-Broadway / UBC (B-Line) is one of the most widely used bus routes in Vancouver. During peak operating hours, the bus is filled to capacity and the bus is very crowded. With this in mind, the “99” is a great place to make observations regarding; how people interact with one another in close quarters on their daily commute. I plan to make my observations on a weekday during the evening ‘peak hours’, so I am able to observe a large number of people on the bus, and to obtain a large number of observations. From my own experience on the “99”, I have deduced that, the evening peak hours normally begin around 5pm, and end around 7pm.…

    Bus Boycott Outline

    Montgomery Alabama bus boycott, 1955 The Montgomery Bus Boycott of Montgomery, Alabama is known as the crucial catalyst that jump-started the Civil Rights Movement.

In 1955, African Americans were still required by a Montgomery, Alabama, city ordinance to sit in the back half of city buses and to give their seats to white riders if the front half of the bus, reserved for whites, was full. Martin Luther King Jr. organized the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955, which began a chain reaction of similar boycotts…

    Chitra Divakaruni Speech

    In a world full of different people and different things, how can we still seem to be connected? Dr. Chitra Divakaruni, author of One Amazing Thing, was able to express this to every incoming first year student at Appalachian State University. During the short time Dr. Divakaruni was on stage, she discussed many different things, from the book that she wrote for all incoming Appalachian State students, to the times that that she has experienced conflict in her life. Dr. Divakaruni’s speech connects to the course ‘Conflict and Peace’ because she discussed Hurricane Katrina, she gave details about a lady she came in contact with that had been abused in some way, and her book that she wrote is nothing shy of a being strictly about conflict and resolution. I will be using stories told by Dr. Divakaruni, and her book One Amazing Thing to support my thoughts.…

    Reading And Thought Dwight Macdonald Summary

    Reading and Thought Essay In the article “Reading and Thought,” Dwight Macdonald expresses his disagreement with Henry Luce’s idea of functional curiosity. Henry Luce defines functional curiosity as a kind of searching, hungry interest in what is happening everywhere—“born not of an idle desire to be entertained or amused, but of a solid conviction that the news intimately and vitally affects the lives of everyone now.” On the other hand, MacDonald’s opinion on the idea of functional curiosity is that while curiosity exists, it does not help the person strengthen his or her reading skills. Macdonald compares today’s writings to how they were in the past eras and find modern day writings to be overwhelming and irrelevant.…

    Earthseed In Octavia Butler's Parable Of The Sower

    After that my brother, sister, and I were guided to the couches that were located in the lobby, while my parents spent about twenty agonising minutes checking us in. After the long flight I just wanted to lay down and rest, but my dad thought it would be a wonderful idea to go out into the city and explore some of the many different places. Groaning and dragging my feet along with shoulders hunched forward I followed my eager parents into a place that I had never been before. The hustle and bustle of the day was all around me, and the amount of people who were walking throughout the streets and the sidewalk was astounding. About five minutes into the walk a loud noise boomed throughout the entire city chanting words in a language I had never heard before.…

    The People And Group Reflection In The Junction Hotel Module

    Having started the People and Organization module, in the first week of seminar, forming a group was necessary, as it was a discussion based activity, but unknowingly it helped me form my group for the Junction Hotel presentation. The aim behind this piece of writing is to reflect upon the process and the formation of my group. Reflection is ‘... a form of mental processing with a purpose and/or anticipated outcome that is applied to relatively complex or unstructured ideas for which there is not an obvious solution’. (Moon 1999 pg.23). Moon (1999) also states that we reflect for many reasons; important reasons being to critically review our behavior and that of others.…

    The Scottish Enlightenment

    Scottish Enlightenment In his book, Reading the Scottish Enlightenment: Books and Their Readers in Provincial Scotland, author Mark R.M. Towsey set out to discover the history of reading and how popular books by the likes of David Hume and William Robertson were received in 18th century Scotland. Towsey delves into historical library catalogues in hopes to uncover the impact that certain books had on readers lives and personal beliefs in order to gain perspective on how readers from different social classes used their personal reading experience as a means to experience the Enlightenment. At the time of the 18th century, Scotland was still considered to be deeply religious and the ideas of Enlightenment challenged their religious beliefs.…

    Symbolism In Saint Marie, Marie Lazarre?

    Baited and Lured Aristophanes said, “Hunger knows no friend but its feeder” (BrainyQuote). In “Saint Marie (1934): Marie Lazarre,” from the novel Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich, begins with Marie Lazarre following the Nuns up the hill to the Sacred Heart Convent where she will become a protégé, not for the intentions of salvation, but to prevent Sister Leopolda from getting into heaven. In this story brimmed with layers of irony, Erdrich uses fishing and baiting imagery to demonstrate the ambition and hunger within Marie in her goal to rise above Sister Leopolda. Erdrich provides instances in which fishing and/or baiting is used to relate to the theme of religion, Marie’s ambitions, and the relationship between Marie and the Nuns, especially concerning Sister Leopolda. Religion is crucial to keep in mind when approaching this story.…

    Blind Leading The Blind Analysis

    A being that uses expression or application of their imagination and creativity to create a piece of work that causes emotion or a reaction in any sort of way is an—artist. The reaction do not have to be necessarily positive nor does the piece itself have to be aesthetically pleasing (if visually presentable); nevertheless, I do consider that the "cherry on the top" or a bonus. If the piece is controversial, it does not necessary mean the piece is bad itself it only proves that art is all about the freedom of expression an artist has (if not limited by "laws"). I think Sandow Birk defines what a successful artist is. Some of his prints and drawings plays off of what some consider controversial laws and events.…
