Facade Fun
Drive-in Movie
Our initial idea accents the two most striking features of the Widener facade: the columns and the monumental flight of stairs. Using color and light, it can become a display that reacts to movement, noise, or play games with the tourists. We were inspired by the work of Christopher Janney. He livens up a stagnate place by use of color, sound and interactivity. By using a similar approach, the silent looming mass of Widener Library can be transformed into something whimsical and animated instead of being so stiff, serious, and intimidating. Another source of inspiration are the large scale projects posted by Graffiti Research Lab - treating the large facade as a canvas that can generate and transform the aesthetics of the facade - or even to allow a taboo action (such as graffiti spraypaint) to be performed without permanent damage.
