The Apertures Concept
HIDA asked me to find out what the people in the Photography Major need in a space. After speaking with students and professors of the photography department, they told me they wanted spaces dedicated to working in studio, a public gallery, and relaxation. I designed this location to fuse all their needs and the needs of Arizona State University. The spirit of the design lies within The Apertures, an interactive shade structure inpired by a camera aperture, to give photographers the ability to control the light in their art.
