Interactive Installations Play with Space and Light
November 13, 2017
For the first time ever, urban design/horticulture 
students in Professor Stevie Famulari’s Plans I class will install two-part interactive installation in the Campus Center Study Lounge.
The installation will take place beginning at 6 p.m., Monday, November 20.
Both installations, “Free Your Words” and “The Unseen Colors of the Visible Light Spectrum” are built of fire-retardant paper and designed to be uniquely interactive with the campus community.
“The Unseen Colors of the Visible Light Spectrum” allows the public to see aspects of light and shadows that are hidden from the naked eye, using structural objects. Different paper shapes suspended from the ceiling will facilitate this.
“Free Your Words” creates a space which allows students to anonymously express their thoughts on an interactive, eight-foot-book page.
Senior student Marley Doherty, who is studying Landscape Design, states: “This project allows students to not only learn essential skills of working together, but also how to take limited space on campus and create a design.”
Team manager Elizabeth Hickey also shares: “While doing this project, I have learned leadership skills I never knew I possessed.”
The public reception for these designs will be Monday, November 27 at 6 p.m. in the Campus Center Study Lounge. At the reception, designers will demonstrate how the public can use the designs and everyone can enjoy the spaces the class has created. The installations will be open November 21 – December 4.
