Final Project Concept: RED CARPET
Elevator Pitch
Jane Oh, Yonatan Kelib, Sai Sriskandarajah, Angela Pablo
Keywords:
Red material, labyrinth, guide, embracing, pathway, merging of space, vito acconci, welcome
General scope of ideas:
We are interested in merging the separated spaces between ceiling, wall and floor, leading to a more fluid and larger sense of space. Implement some easy to understand visual cues - create an organic flow which unites all the spaces within the floor, instead of separate, isolated rooms.
What parts of the general scope are specifically covered by your project?
Welcome visitors to the ITP space and show a warmer approach to technology. Making use of space that hasn’t been fully utilized (ceiling, walls, floor). Help guide visitors towards projects using visual cues.
How to introduce your project to someone who doesn’t know about it?
Through visual and tactile experience.
Intent?
To give visitors a warm welcome and provide the floor with a more organic flow and presence.
Audience?
Visitors to ITP show
Starting point for experiencing our project?
Entrance and throughout the floor.
What does our project do differently?
We provide visual and tactile cues that are easy to understand and subtle.
Resources available to you today for the project?
The ITP floor (physical space).
Missing elements?
Red material (fabric, carpet, inexpensive material safe and durable enough to be stepped on)
Fasteners
Rods/other structural element for creating shapes with the fabric
How will you provide these?
Research low-cost resources available
Visuals
