Recharge Learning Experience
Principle John DeSalvo lead a team of IIT Architecture third year students to win the 2018 SOFA CONNECT student design installation competition. The basis of design originated from the world X, Y, and Z axes. A simple framework of visual lines exploits these within this stage for diverse physical and emotional interactions. Elements therein are fundamentally assigned to signify each; seating arrangement in width, wall facade in depth, lighting systems in height. An experience, following laws of proportion and tailored by an articulation of a sloping plane, mutates with movement throughout. Intricate illumination then forms beacons to guide through the orchestrated space – into a serendipitous moment of recharge.
