The University of Pennsylvania commissioned Moto to design a nomadic sacred space for the student body to use for gatherings related to social impact and peaceful protest.
Three sites on the university campus with a significant art piece or topography were selected.
P1: Peace sign by atrium steps, historic gathering place for protest at the college.
P2: Love sign, sculpture is one of iterations of the Robert Indiana piece.
P3: Ben Franklin statue, founder of the university. The statute was a gift to the City of Philadelphia and originally located in front a United States Post office.

The shell’s configuration was dependent on the site.
Based on Moto Designshop’s site analysis and model studies, the university
chose two sites - P1 & P2 - for the main gathering functions.
