RESEARCH AGENDA
We will study the transparency, filtration, and movement of walls as an architectural component.
+Light
We will investigate the amount, the direction, and the movement of light by mechanical means.
+Movement
We are interested in an output that demonstrates the maximum effect given a minimum amount of mechanical movement.
+Social Agenda
We will expose something that people do not normally see or are not aware of.
RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Light as a primary output, movement of light can be dramatically altered with relatively subtle or minimal mechanical difference.
A dramatic effect can be created with very subtle movement using a ratchet, lever, and mirrors. Transparency/opacity can be created using polarization.
Our social agenda to increasing awareness of subtly shifting environmental elements. One example is the sky, which is often not observed because of its placement above us. A wall of sky would show something that is familiar and simultaneously unfamiliar.
