What was once the prominent entrance and central gathering space of Rudolph Hall, is now a desolate and dark remnant. To revitalize this space and create an experiential procession into the architecture school, LightWalk was proposed as an interactive and stimulating series of structures. These adjustable arches invite visitors to enter the thresholds and play with their shapes to leave a new procession for the next guest to come. LED light strips outline each arch and illuminate only as visitors come near. For this course, a single prototype was successfully fabricated out of aluminum channels and components while programmed through the use of an Arduino kit.
