Public Display Kiosks are to be displayed (with permission) in city halls, libraries, train stations, or schools, etc. Among the features of these kiosks are:
- an explanation of Architecture
- distingushing “just building” vs. architecture
- one example of a historical architectural icon (photos/placards)
-local architecture to celebrate (photos/placards/drawing excerpt)
- Did you know?.....
- Green Building or Remodeling Tips for consumers
-“Working with an Architect”(how to) leaflets
-other "take one” leaflets
- “My Favorite Buildings are...”- A General Public fun survey ballot box
-other creative features
A kiosk design competition was hosted by the AIA Northeast Illinois chapter's Young Architects Group in March of 2009 for prototype kiosk designs (see examples above). Your local chapter may wish to do the same in the 1st quarter of 2010.
Your help is also needed to identify locations and to obtain approvals necessary to display these kiosks inside public places for the week of April 12-18th.
The kiosks are creative, affordably constructed, modular/reproducible, re-usable, low-maintenance, durable, tasteful, stable, eye-catching and truly representative of the great profession of architecture.
