DILUTED IN HALLWAY

The site is the hallway in the 2nd floor of Pratt Design Studio. Cavity walls create reflection of the sound of the footstep. The echo itself then becomes a self-regulating system which emphasizes the movement of people.

By transforming the acoustic feature into physical objects. The designed is for allowing people to visualize their movement through the space with light and shadow. Diluting of patterns and colors represent the density different of the sound through out the entire space. Same as the “flow”, ripple-like shape reduces as it extends toward the middle of the hallway. When people walking on or under the "flow", they can see how their voice or footstep dilute in this specific hallway.
