We fleshed out what layers our curtain would contain and how it would be installed. We also finalized the fabrics we will use for the curtain. Additionally, we…

We made a full scale version of our piece and experimented with a mechansim to get the enclosing movement we wanted. Our first iteration looked like: The following…

We tried to capture movement in two different iterations to capture the same movement. Iteration 1| Pulley System: Iteration 2| Wire Mechanics: Jil: I got the up and…

My key goal in this project was to explore the relationship between different kinds of motion (vertical, horizontal, rotational, etc.). I wanted to be able to create a…

We want the form of the materials to call to mathematical forms found in nature– many of our initial ideas reference either hyperbolic forms (such as coral, modeled…

We decided to switch gears from our mood sky idea and pursue a different idea where a large piece of fabric will “scoop up” LED “stars” like a…

Concept Development One idea for curtain fabric exploration is to have multiple layers of fabric with one side made up of an opaque black fabric and the other…

Concept recapitulation We want to build a beautiful tunnel that feels like you’re in an ocean of silk and color. The installation will have gentle ambient motion to…

The space we chose was A13 group study room in the basement. We were drawn to the curving ceiling panels, the quiet nature of the room, and the…
