In order to activate the courtyard space outside of Temple Buell Hall, the architectural intervention must provide a destination for people to gather. Part spectacle and part collaboration activate the courtyard and allow people to interact and collaborate with the architecture of the courtyard. Balloons provide the structure to support project and serve as objects that can allow people to change the form of the structure. The first objective of this proposal, is to provide a much needed shading device in the open courtyard. The second, is to attract people into the courtyard by having a very tall and stunning structure. And third objective is to engage people with the structure. As a result, Interact will create a sense of place in the South part of campus.
