Spat: Exhibit plans

Above is the wire-frame plan for the digital device. We have chosen to utilize an iPad as our means of digitally interacting with the space. Each section for each of the 5 points will have a visual element that signifies which space you're in (if you're in the garden section there will be an icon of a tree for example). Once you've gotten an opening blurb about the program you will be sent to the Homepage in order to select which section/point you are at. Once you've selected which section you are in you will be given a hint specific to the space, the hint will contain vital information about that particular section. After you've followed through with the hint, you will be asked a question about that section. If you experience the exhibit and engage with it, you will easily get the answer right. If you get the question correct you will receive a digital "piece" of the house. So if you get the correct answer for the garden section, your digital house at the end of the exhibit will have a garden, and if you get the answer wrong your house will not have a garden and your house will pay the consequences at the end. Upon the answering of the final section, you will receive notice that you've completed all the questions and you will be able to tap-and-drag the pieces you've earned onto the site and build your digital house.

We developed two questions for each of the five sections so if you visit the exhibit with your friend you  will each have to answer separate questions (encouraging patrons to experience the exhibit for themselves).

Here are the questions that we have developed for each section:

Support Questions:

1. Corbusier called his column-like supports "palotis." These palotis function was to:

a) Support the ceiling

b) Lift the structure off the ground

c) Eliminate restricting inner walls

d) All of the above

2. According to Corbusier, what was the most structurally sound combination of materials to create foundational supports for the Pilotis?

a) Solid Oak reinforced with steel rebar

b) Concrete and Solid Oak frames

c) Concrete reinforced with steel rebar

d) A pile of ravens

Design of the Free Facade Questions:

1. Do the palotis allow for the second story to stretch beyond the base of the structure?

2. Projecting the floors beyond the supporting pillars was intended to:

a) Utilize the space below the floor

b) Utilize the space below the floor

c) Allow windows to be extended to any length

d) All of the Above

Window questions:

1. How should the windows be arranged for a room to get optimal lighting according to Corbusier?

2. Would Corbousier approve of the following light arrangement?

Garden Questions:

 1. Why is the garden important to Corbousier’s design?

2. True or False: Corbousier’s garden helps keep the concrete roof from cracking?

Free Ground Plan Questions:

1. True or False: In Corbousier’s houses, the walls may be moved anywhere within the space without impacting the stability of the structure?

2. Look at the following diagram: If walls 2 and 3 were switched, would the structure become less stable?
