Description
This project was an introduction to studying how light and shadow can affect space and experience. Whether using different light intensities, angles, or cutouts, the purpose was to create a visual journey for the viewer. In this project, the viewer has an adventure through the cutouts to the back of the box, as well as an experience on the two flat boards on the bottom and right side. By developing a set of sketches and experimenting with study models, the project was a physical model and used different colored flashlights and studio lights to capture the shadows.
Key Learning Outcomes

Where the lines would end on each side to make each layer fit together.
Final design idea. The smaller the wave, the farther back that section is.
From a bird’s eye view, how the foam core was and bent to create the shapes needed.
