This charette is my first adventure into this interesting area. I thank the organizing members of this event for taking the time and energy in making my first step exciting and educational. The main goals of the design solution proposed are to provide a dedicated, secure and sound attenuating cabinet for the audiovisual equipment called for in the program. Multimedia presentations and communications are rapidly changing fields and this solution must be adaptable for new technology. As of the date of this project projected slide film maintains a level of quality and clarity that exceeds digital media.
Digital media is far more versatile and interactive than slide film.
Therefore, at this time both presentation methods should be provided. The solution not presented. Rear screen projection equipment has several advantages over the front screen set up that is currently in use in the room. In a rear screen set-up, ambient light levels in the viewing room can be higher, creating a more comfortable environment for discussion and note taking. In the case of Room 111, rear screen projection would have a major downside-the elimination of valuable floor space.
