New Orleans Library Model

The client wanted to take advantage of the communicative and tactile nature of lifelike models to present his mobile library concept to the local New Orleans community. Scale plastic models of shipping containers are trimmed and modified with a filleted basswood liner tube and miniature desks and chairs. The site is outfitted with colored strips of landscaping pavers, ramps, and foam vegetation as well as a linear water feature created with acrylic clear coat.
