LUMINARIES AT BROOKFIELD PLACE. 2014. while at the LAB at Rockwellgroup)
Please see further documentation at the Rockwellgroup website, dezeen, fastcodesign, as well as the Brookfield Place New York.
DESCRIPTION
Luminaries is an temporary interactive light installation at the Brookfield place Mall in downtown Installation. It was designed to provide downtown Manhattan with a holiday landmark that allows people to come together, celebrate and make memories. Luminaires is composed of 650 LED (Philips Color Kinetics) lanterns, that use color animations - ambient, and 'glockenspiel' to create a dramatic immersive atrium. Three 'wishing' stations allow visitors to interact with the canopy by sending 'wishes' through it - each wish, progressively spreading through the installation as a color and animation takeover.
ROLE
I assisted the concept and design development phases of this project. My role entailed helping develop the experience and interaction stories via precedent research, model making, story boarding, sketching, rendering and assisting to develop client presentations.
SKILLS
Sketching, Illustrator, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Model making, Prototyping (physical + rudimentary Arduino)
Show below are some early concept renders and photographs of the installation.
