Preliminary Tasks

Community Design Collaborative

Another organization that acts as a “connector” to coordinate design projects in Philadelphia. Here’s their website

They have some pretty good graphics to describe what they do, how to get involved, etc.

Vertty website

I came across a fancy website http://us.tryvertty.com/. It is a official website for towel brand. I think it is a interesting creative branding project, and it is very nice use of geometry and colors. But not sure how efficient the usability.

Penn Praxis!

Bjarke Ingels Group website

some website inspiration from BIG, a very influential architecture firm. They organize their projects in different ways (chronological, program, status, location, etc.) which makes the site a bit more interactive. Maybe we can do something similar for Praxis

Here’s the Diller Scofidio Renfro (architects) site – also an index/portfolio
