In this project, I was hired by an imaginary design team to create a control system for a wall that would open in its center at a slow, constant, subtle rate. The design team wanted the opening to be 24" wide by the end of Act 1, pause during intermission, then open to 48" by the end of the show.

​

I had to phrase my technical questions in a way that the "creatives" would understand, even though my professor was the one answering the questions,

​

I wrote a design specification and developed an iterative design process. I used weighted decision matrices and diagrams to visualize each part of the control system. Finally, I designed a control panel and wrote an operation guide.
