RATIONALE BrisbaneGROWth was designed for Aqua Restaurant. The installation consisted of hundreds of coreflute and plywood boxes. These boxes took over the entire shopfront to produce a pixelated representation of the Brisbane River. Patrons of the restaurant were invited to submit their own personal favourite recipes over the month that the installation was in place. This project was completed with Corrine Cognet, Jennifer Hudson, Magda Myszkowski, Hayley Phillips and Josh Spillane . <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/HG 14.jpg" width="600" height="400" width_o="600" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/HG 14_o.jpg" data-mid="8602198" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/HG 13.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/HG 13_o.jpg" data-mid="8602196" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/HG 06.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/HG 06_o.jpg" data-mid="8602186" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/HG 07.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/HG 07_o.jpg" data-mid="8602189" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/HG 10.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/HG 10_o.jpg" data-mid="8602193" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/HG 12.jpg" width="600" height="399" width_o="600" height_o="399" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/HG 12_o.jpg" data-mid="8602195" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/hg.jpg" width="401" height="600" width_o="401" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25432/1748250/hg_o.jpg" data-mid="8997892" border="0" align="left"/> http://ianknight.com.au/Aurelia http://ianknight.com.au/following/ianknight.com.au/Aurelia Mon, 13 Jun 2011 11:40:35 +0000 Ian Knight 1583264 BRIEF Design a lighting object that will fit with and improve a researched environment.

Identify user needs within the topic and apply this research to the design of a product that addresses user needs within the environment. RATIONALE The design addresses the barrier between digital and physical work within the design classroom. By allowing students and teachers to quickly and easily show and manipulate ideas, productivity is increased. Multiple units are able to be used to extend the work surface. This allows users to work individually or in groups with ease.
