With the color system and LED back lighting, the design speaks to ART unto itself! Students and Sam--great job with the materials! Congratulations. Jane Walsh

Not only a beautiful design, but it seems to embody the essence of Artists for Humanity. It is unique to the client, space and its inhabitants rather than a self-fulfilling expression by the designer.

Very nice. It takes a while to appreciate the subtleties of the design. It reflects a lot of careful choices. Well done!

Beautiful work!

Clever use of the 3form product. Takes advantage of transluceny and color. Creates a strong identity with a small intervention. By far the best project!!!!!!!
