For the 2018 Seattle Design Festival Block Party, Rolluda Architects assembled a team of dedicated and creative design professionals who volunteered their time and expertise to explore the profound theme of trust. Realizing this vision required seamless collaboration, which was achieved through a partnership with Forma Construction to build and install the interactive structure.

​

The installation conceptualizes trust as a direct byproduct of vulnerability, demonstrating how transforming raw emotion into expression can become a true game changer. Each of the four sides of the installation marries the concept of trust with a core institutional value: integrity, diversity, sustainability, and social responsibility. These ideals flourish best when trust is placed at the heart of the community.

​

To engage visitors, the four values are presented as an evolving trail of crumbs that illustrates an individual’s relationship with trust through the prompts: I wish, I am, I give, and I believe. These statements are put on display for everyone to see and reciprocate. Utilizing bright colors and interactive surfaces reminiscent of childhood activity walls, the design intentionally lowers inhibitions. This playful atmosphere fosters enough vulnerability for participants to discover a new perspective, facilitating an experience where reaching out is rewarded by support, understanding, and trust.
