OSWall featured in "Envelop{e}s" Exhibition at Pratt Manhattan Gallery

We want to thank everyone who attended the opening of "Envelop{e}s" at the Pratt Manhattan Gallery last week on Thursday, March 4th. The exhibit was curated by Associate Professor of Architecture at Rice University, Christopher Hight. There was an impressive turn out of students, academics, and local professionals. We were honored to be included with such a sophisticated, thoughtful, accomplished group of designers and architects. 

Also, thank you to those of you who entered the "OSWall Design Your Own App" competition. We ultimately picked three winners whose app strategies were displayed alongside our prototype in the exhibit. Look for a blog post later this week along with a special section of our website that will feature the winning designs.

Finally, a HUGE thank you to our good friends Dave Hultman from Engineering at the University of Minnesota and Susanna Hohmann from Terrazign in Portland for their tireless efforts in helping us pull this off. It would have never happened without them.

Check out some photos of the installation here.

We will have a new section on our site under the "Prototypes" heading featuring diagrams, drawings, and photos of this latest version of OSWall.

Time is almost up!

The "Design Your Own App" competition has almost drawn to a close. Today is the last day to submit your sketches, models, drawings, or animations for OSWall App designs. Remember, we're not necessarily looking for extensive documentation of your idea, just a quality idea. If we pick your design, you will have time to develop it more later. So, head over to the "OSWall App Design Competition" page to review the details and upload your work. 

Thanks to those of you who have already submitted! The ideas are wide-ranging, innovative, and exciting. Coming up soon, we will post the ideas for your viewing and solicit comments on what you think are the best strategies. Until then...we want your ideas!
