all design competition - Design Contest Description
For new Fall fashions and back-to-school shopping, ‘pop-up’ retail shops are the hottest trend. These small, temporary shops are bringing fashion and an urban edge to under-utilized and vacant spaces. This challenge is to design a quickly constructed or prefabricated, free-standing shop of no more than 200 square feet.

Context

* Location and design should be appropriate for selling goods. We are looking for a workable concept so permitting/legal vending issues need not be considered, drawing in foot traffic and visibility should be.
