Public Space: Chair Projects

Nikolai Roerich chair by Nick Savage, CUTMR 2011

Each year since 2009, Come Up To My Room curators have worked with professor Elizabeth English and visited to the University of Waterloo School of Architecture to select three to five chairs from their Chair Project. The project requires the design, construction and structural analysis of a folding or take-apart wood chair. Students are encouraged to select a client who inspires them, and to approach the design with attention to the Vitruvian goals of firmness, commodity and delight – emphasis on delight!
