Spatial Final Ideas
This being a SPATIAL design class, I am more inclined to make something that really involves space, the ITP 4th floor.
Today, we had a brainstorming session with a few Friday spatial kids. Michael D, Mike B, Christin, Christian and Alex and I sat down and talked about what our interests were, starting with which project we liked the best out of the assignments so far.
Here are some of the things that came up. Thank you Michael D for the notes! :)
Tangible media, bits, pixels and their physical representation
Sound spaces, noise and spatial noise
Lights - Light wall's, light curtains
Deformable walls, deformable structures
Interactive architecture
The connection between museums and schools, history and work
Potentially using the ceiling
Mike D and I are both interested in lights, using them in space and Alex and Christin were interested in the idea of creating space using sound as their source.
We also liked the idea of using the ceiling throughout ITP to install our project. This way, we will not be limited to space.
Personally, I would like to make a light structure that would interact with people on the floor. Whether this be in the form of a wall, or a light fixture on the ceiling, it would be nice to define a space with manipulating lights.
Idealy, if we were to use light, the surroundings would have to be dark to get the right, elegant effect. However, since the floor will be somewhat lit during the show, I can see us working with textures and building a light structure behind it to enhance the lights coming through these textures. Some ideas below.

I got these images just to give me some visuals as to what I'm talking about.

Answers to the questions.
What are the keywords to describe your project?
What is the general scope of ideas?
I'd like to work with differnent lights and materials to create a grand entrance for those that come to see the ITP winter show.
How to introduce your project?
It would be a screen that would lead the people into the ITP show.
Your intents for the project?
I'd like to realize a space with use of different lights and materials.
The starting point for someone experiencing the project? The audience or users for your project? What does your project provide that other similar projects do not provide or provide differently?
The start of this project would start at the entrance of ITP.
Please do some research on this point-
What are the resources available to you today for this project?
What are the missing elements for your project?
How do you plan to provide these element?
I'd like to work with different screen materials and lights. EL wires as JM suggested. The screen material would be of a opaque-like material. I would like to work with projections as well onto the screens.
