Project: MONNNO
By: Harrison Kratzer
Course: GD490
"MONNNO is a typographic experiment in form and space, seeking to render an efficient and beautiful 2D typeface in a physical 3D environment with certain restraints such as physics, dimension, and shape.
The forms of each 2D letter are given by a singular "perfect" viewpoint of the 3D sculpture, as if the form itself is a snapshot of time amongst countless perspectives."

Project: WakeMed Farmer's Market | Closing the Gap of food insecurity in Southeast Raleigh, NC
By: Carolina Sarmiento Avila : @casa.avil
Course: ARC 405 - Technology Studio with Dana Gulling
"The project aims to develop a farmer's market and nutrition-education center for the residents of Southeast Raleigh. The goal is to improve community health by increasing access to fresh and nutritional food, offering nutrition and food preparation courses, and access to fitness equipment and classes.
Food insecurity has been an issue that has affected Southeast Raleigh for the last 10 + years. By bringing nutritious food to the area, we can close the food insecurity gap and food deserts.
A well-intentioned Farmer's market creates many opportunities for the community nearby. The farmer's market goes beyond producing for the community and caters to educating the importance of a balanced diet, especially in a country where there is an emphasis on unhealthy food.
In a low-income area, the project can double as a source of food and job opportunities for local farmers. When a community has a balanced approach to care for the community, a healthy and open community starts to rise."
