Animate Arcade is a family of independent but related architectural “creatures” that populate the Siebel Center for Design, a new interdisciplinary design hub at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The creatures enhance the new building’s public spaces with intimate pockets of personable programming. Each architectural installation in the series activates the interior of the Siebel Center for Design by providing a specific amenity, including a welcome desk, a gateway arch, a mobile amphitheater backdrop for lectures/performances, and a roving exhibition display kiosk that has wandered away from the pack.
