Abstract

Starting with the common facemask commonly worn in Asia, combined with the spread of SARS, face[GUARD] merges these concerns reinterpreting the hawker booth into a version of product dispenser and health monitor. Made out of inexpensive 1/8 inch thick luan and an 1x ash wood structure, painted white and CNC perforated and manufactured, each of the four elevations of the booth is identified from low alert to pandemic various transparencies to opaque mediating human interactions.
