Tools_T-Walls

Instant infrastructure for
creating team spaces and
writing surfaces.

The T-Walls (so called because of their
shape on a floor plan) allow for the creation of rapid configurations of intimate
or open spaces in any context. They are
one of the most time-tested elements
at the d.school. An early need to be able
to quickly adapt spaces for multipleuse cases had us literally mounting
entire walls on casters to move them
about the space.
	
Each T-Wall unit consists of two
nearly identical walls. These walls are
wood frames skinned with thinner

make space

2.	 Skin one side of each as illustrated.
3.	 Connect the walls.
4.	 Attach remaining skins.
5.	 Install casters anytime after Step 1.
the guts
Both wall components are identical, with a
consistent C-shaped vertical center assembly,
allowing either wall to function as connector for
the pair, using bolts or lag screws. Holes for these
bolts or screws should be predrilled in the center
channel before installing the laminate surface;
holes should be located at top, mid, and bottom
heights.
how tall?
We have found 6' 6" to be a good height for usability without intimidation. Taller surfaces can wreck
team dynamics and create unreachable areas.

Casters: (3) heavyduty casters

Hardware:
Self-tapping lath screws for showerboard
attachment at 8 spacings.
Carriage bolts (with nuts & washers) or lag
screws for connecting wall components

showerboard/lumber
Lumber & showerboard are available from
local lumber suppliers as well as home centers.
The d.school has had excellent results with the
product available from
Pine Cone Lumber (895 East Evelyn Avenue,
Sunnyvale, CA 94086; 408 736-5491;
www.pineconelumber.com).

build instructions

laminate materials such as acrylic,
polycarbonate, Masonite, and showerboard. The nonporous surfaces of
showerboard and acrylic, for example,
create easily replaceable, dry-erase
writable surfacesless expensive than
commercially available products of
similar scale.
	
The framing construction can be
basic, using standard 2x4 lumber, or
more elaborate, using thick (1") multiply plywood or finer hardwood lumber.

start
Because it is a tall, rolling structure, the
T-Wall needs to be built sturdily. Start
with a quantity of one or two (a pair is
nice) and use the cheap option: standard
2x4s.
