| Design
Problem
Re-design a locker
for today’s students
Who is eligible to enter
in this category?
Chicago Public School students
enrolled in a first year architecture class. Any CPS
high school student not registered in an architecture
course is also welcome to enter this division.
Students in the second and third year of an architecture
class are not eligible to enter this division.
Existing conditions
Over the past 100 years, a lot
of things about being a high school student have changed.
However, the design of lockers has not changed much
at all. Everything else about school has changed including
the size of textbooks, the size of back packs and coats.
In addition to the size of the lockers, some schools
have concerns about locker security.
Your task is to redesign a locker to meet the needs
of students today. Based on your experience as a student,
create a new locker that meets all of your needs. You
can incorporate technology into your design. |
