Glowing Cities | The Secret Life of Public Spaces

Collaborators:

Christopher M. Weir

Glowing Cities is an exploration of the three tiers of space, the inflated forms providing varying levels of privacy and interaction through supplemental perimeter zones, visual datum and refuge spaces.

Glowing Cities provides refuge areas by creating a variety of spaces within the larger public environment. Regardless of personal preference, confidence level, or desired level of interaction, every individual can gain a personalized experience from the forms which are designed for the three tiers of space: public, personal and intimate. Comprised of giant inflatable structures that migrate through spaces, Glowing Cities functions as a nomadic performance piece. Supported and lit from the interior and inflated by fans, the enticing pieces can be experienced from both the inside and outside.
