Jackie Mascarella-Lectern

Melanie Grigg_ Lectern



This is my first go at designing a lectern. This piece will have a movable screen that can be pushed back for more surface space. It also allows space for a laptop to be sat down.

LECTERN

After viewing different lecterns online, I came across the ILS Intelligent Lectern. This system is a touch screen, which enables the speaker to have complete access to the lighting in the room, the projector, and microphone at the same time. The computer is built in and can also access the speaker to their own notes at the same time they are projector their presentation. This prevents the clutter and stress of note cards. Another important aspect is to have the lectern be adjustable to all different heights so that even those in a wheelchair may access it. A feature that we also need to think about is making a place for models to sit while being presented. This will help make the presentation more cohesive with everything in one spot.

more images to follow...of better quality with sketches + annotations. Im late for work but will edit soon!

ORGANIC +MODULARITY- Shannon's sketch model



Trying to work with organic shapes, and the way that the human body is-the shaped turned into a boomerang shape, allowing for the presenter to be able to visualize the audience as well as easy access to the presentation screen and mobility around the room. The sketch model more or less just shows the form I want to see in the new lectern, as well as adding in modularity, mobility (wheels), sustainable products and a flush, simple design.

Easily accessible and operable.
Light weight with extra storage.

When Designing these lectern designs, I thought about the artistic value that a lectern could possible have.  I feel like in today's society that sometimes we only stick to what we are used too, when really we need to think outside of the box and go beyond what is already there.  These images are my thoughts about the new improved lectern for the room 204.  There is more information about each image on my individual blog.

Rachel Walker - Teaching Lectern
















This lectern would be made of a sustainable type of metal. The form is a series of folds that create the podium-like top and the stool height seat for presenters. The projector would sit in flush with the top of the lectern as well as a sunken docking station for a lap top. The whole piece would be on casters for easy storage.

PEANUT GLOW--

Inspiration stemmed from the concept of
a bubble and the fluidity of its movement.
The organic shape supports this theory of
movement. Ergonomically designed with
functionality as its main goal.

Sara's lectern model





This conceptual model is of my idea for the lectern, basically surrounding the use of positive and negative space. Which would allow the presenter/teacher to not be so cut off from there audience. The intention would be to break down the thick barrier that places the audience apart and prohibits the flow and development of discussion. The station it's self would be working upwards instead of outward allowing for more flat surface area. This will be accomplished by having slimier tech units that can be locked away but not prohibit the usage of the space. The hope is that this lectern will allow the rest of the room to feed into it and vise versa it will no longer be a solid block.

Janel Graupensperger- Teaching Translator



the teaching translator would be built with a metal mess and would have
compartments that could contain the computer, laptop as well as a pull out shelf for papers or models.

alpha installation









Rachel getting ready to place mylar paper in the plotter. Jovana, sierra, and Jackie get the section ready to plot...yikes this could be messy. Shannon is anticipating the screw installation. Janel is skillfully installing the screws. This could be messy too. We’re about to put the section up.
