Adam Scott, team leadership and collaborative design/build.

Jailbreak placed two groups in linked roles: prisoners and friends helping them escape during a simulated power outage. Puzzles and flashlights connected the rooms and the participants’ actions.

Adam led the student team from concept into temporary construction. The experience brought narrative, spatial planning and collaborative building together.
