The document describes a modular walkway design project for the London Fashion Week exhibition at the Natural History Museum. The walkway provides shelter for attendees as they queue for shows and expands opportunities for branding. It is a flexible, movable system using few modular units that can configure in many ways. The final design features curved forms, layering, colors and repetition to create an atmosphere of glitz and glamour for the event.
