Interactive Runway Blocks
Project Name: Interactive Runway Blocks
Project Client: Emily Carr University of Art and Design
Exploration: Industrial Design , Group Project with Rainy
Year: 2018
Material: Baltic Birch Plywood
Technical Support: Wood shop , Laser Cut
An interactive object designed with children:
Interactive Runway Blocks is a runway building block set created for an 8 years old boy, Andy, who is an aircraft and airport lover, and dreams to be a pilot.
The goal is to design an interactive object that develops the creativity, cultivates the interests, spark the imagination and inspire him to create his own inventions.
During the process of connecting the repetitive elements together, then build up a dream airport runway, children are encouraged to study and image their own airport runway structure. By setting the runway and LED light, the design allows children hanging their work on the wall with the light on. It is a creative, sustainable runway building block, as well as a lighting decoration in the room.
