Shadow Shelter

First conceived by the notion of “shelter”, this final piece was influenced by Japanese architecture and Design theory, the project explores the values of malleability and kinetic environments. The conception of the interactive kirigami fan is to demonstrate the perceptual structured form and permeability of light, which is incorporated through the use of light and shadow. The interactivity of the project is illustrated through the transfer of kinetic energy of the individual, by which the user can manipulate and alter the form of the origami shelter and shadows.
