Layout Hub Idea v1



Idea: Chris Becker & Ryan D'orazi
An interactive desk /floor and workstation
Inspiration:
Alexi Brodovich

The networked desk/interactive surface allows the link of working with paper at actual size. Our concept is attempting to challenge the idea that when paper is printed that is the end of its life cycle as an artifact. In an age of ubiquitous computation all things can have a history. In ip6 every molecule will have a unique identity because of this we are attempting to explore the area of sequential design to address the ideas that paper has a histroy and is part of a large network of files and connections. What happens to the designing process when connections and communication are forefront and fluid? When a piece of design can have a histroy then it is traceable from sketch to final product and beyond. What if each piece of design had a meta history attached to with in the fibers of the printing? With meta information paper can have any and every peice of information about who, what, how, when, where and why this peice of design came to be.
We started with running a few experiments revolving around the Art Director and his or her ability to be the overlord of a project.
