The Transport and Deployment of the Night Market Cart 2013

This morning the tireless [R]ed[U]x Lab team shipped out their cart design to the Honest Ed's parking lot site.  The team had enough foresight this year to make the cart such that it would be deployable by breaking it into two pieces (the top canopy and the bottom counter component) for easy shipping in the moving truck and simple assembly at the site.

Nestled among other cart designs, the [R]ed[U]x Lab cart will be facing the East such that its illumination will be emphasized as the shadow of the surrounding buildings serves as a backdrop.  The team also had to insert the serving modules for the evening in the cart and as you can see, they did it with ample time to spare... so much that they could go for a coffee break...

Let's just hope that the lighting effects will pan out as the initial design proposal had anticipated!

Best Foot Forward in Akimbo

The Best Foot Forward installation at the Stantec Window Gallery was posted up online on the Akimbo website.  Nice to see the installation in perspective with the rest of the former McGregor Sock Factory! We genuinely appreciate the help and support of not only the [R]ed[U]x Lab team that put it all together, but also the great hosts, Stantec, especially Karen and her team.

A Glimpse of Best Foot Forward

Here are a few images of the final preparations and completed assembly of the Best Foot Forward project installed at the Stantec Window Gallery.  Once again, it is great to see how the [R]ed[U]x Lab team was able to bring a virtual idea to built reality in such a brief period.

The Assembly of the Foot on Site

Naveed, Craig, and volunteers had an interesting installation session as the rather large foot components were assembled in the modest Stantec Gallery.

Almost There...

The Stantec Window Gallery should be complete very shortly.

Cramped Quarters During the Install

The leg and foot components require a bit of strategic maneuvering in order to ensure that the Stantec Gallery space is kept clean after the red paint job.  Here are two team members precariously setting up the profiles for the leg array to get in.

 

Putting It Together...

Here are some photos of [R]ed[U]x Lab's Stantec Gallery Team on site assembling and fitting the project into the modest display alcove fronting on Spadina Avenue.
