Object: NASCAR theme Commission
Materials: Glass
Tessarae with Medium Grey Grout on Framed Birch Plywood
Dimensions: two
159" x 24" panels (
thus roughly two 13 x 2 foot panels )
Method: Direct
and Indirect (using clear tile tape)
Design
Notes: The driver numbers of NASCAR
are the key elements of this design. These numbers are
truly logos and are as recognizable to the fans as football
helmet or a baseball cap. They are bold and bright, a perfect
counterpoint to the classic black-white checkered flag
waving them into the finish.
Past
racing legends are represented as well as the current generation
of NASCAR drivers.
It was careful planning on my part to choose which numbers
were to be closer to the finish line or which might be
the largest!
This
station serves pre-packaged items that
are not prepared on-site.
Commission
Notes: This commission entailed the
design and execution of four themes to identify the various
food stations at Lecanto High School cafeteria in Florida.
It was an impressive remodeling project with longevity
in mind: from mechanisms which can switch from hot to cold
for evolving menus to access panels & wiring
designed for easy maintenance. While all this planning
was going into "function", "form" was by no means forgotten.
Providing an inviting place to eat was certainly a big
part of the mix.
Instead
of permanent traditional signage, there are themed decorative
mosaic panels running the length of the counters. The look
of each of the four stations informs you of the type of
food being served, leaving the exact menus flexible.
I congratulate the vision of
the Citrus County School Board. All of the
students and faculty of Lecanto High School will be
able to benefit from this investment in their school for years
to come. I was pround to be a part of this project. |
