DESIGN SENIOR / DES 4510 SENIOR STUDIO

For decades mountaineers have left logbooks on top of peaks to mark their accomplishments and document their journey. People in the Wasatch Front have adopted this ritual leaving summit logbooks on top of peaks for hikers to do the same. By researching this system and community that it is upheld by, I have created an installation to foster this ritual of human connection sourced through logbooks left in nature. The three peaks that I visited myself are recreated in this experience as a direct link to this system that lives atop these peaks through a summit accessible to you.
