SAIC Designed Objects Class Collaboration




On Wednesday December 12, 2018 the School of the Art Institute's Designed Objects class at Nichols Tower (Instructor Eric Hotchkiss) had its final critique.
CCA was invited to the critique which featured the student team we worked with all semester - Carrie Wright, Brenny Chen and Zhe Zhang.
 Research on our history, our community and the food forest
 Mini benches workshop facilitated by Carrie, Brenny and Zhe allowed CCA students the opportunity to experience bench building on a small scale.

 Our full size bench, designed by Odile Compagnon, lumber cut by Carrie, Brenny and Zhe and assembled and finished by CCA students.


 In 2019 CCA will continue its relationship with SAIC and the spring semester Designed Objects class. We will design and create new objects for the food forest and put the park bench into production with the assistance of the Greater West Town Community Development Project and a grant from Ingenuity and the Creative Schools Fund.
