The Architales table and environment is designed as a formal, functional and social response of intertwined cinematic narrative expressions. Users can connect visually, functionally and socially through the concept design. The physical concept is broken into different parts referred to as to modules. The modular concept was devised for two reasons. From the user experience perspective, modularity allows the user to navigate the space and experience different types of interactions (with the physical piece, the story, and other users), which come together to shape their overall experience of the work. From the product manufacturing and transportation perspective, the modular design allows the table to be easily (re)produced, moved and set up in different venues. This modular design can also enable different configurations of the physical table and space. The Architales concept was produced in GE Lexan Polycarbonate, plastic material with a unique combination of high impact strength, flame retardancy, and thermoformability, and China Birch plywood for structural support. The concept was prototyped at the Advanced Wood Product Laboratory (AWPL), being a leading laboratory at Georgia Tech engaged in wood products industry in research and development of new products, new wood materials research and development, broad-based marketing of wood products, advanced manufacturing techniques utilizing technology and software.
