Min | Day with FACT, a student-staffed design lab led by
Min | Day, has designed multiple projects for the Bemis Center, an
artist-in-residence program and contemporary art gallery. The InfoShop focuses
attention on ideas and issues brought up by gallery programs, artists and
patrons by providing a social platform for spontaneous meetings, dialog and
debate.
Designed for flexibility, the InfoShop is anchored by a
24'-long faceted reception desk that transforms into a bar for evening events.
The walls are clad with custom, CNC-milled panels derived from a pinwheel
aperiodic tiling pattern suggesting precision, complexity and playfulness.
Working from Min | Day's design, FACT students developed digital models,
prototyped components, programmed fabrication code while working in partnership
with inmates at a medium-security state prison. All installation and finishing by FACT.
