SHAPE-SHIFTING LIGHTS

The project seeks to create a conceptual public installation that could be altered and changed by people according to their need for a concentrated lighting; flexible Shape-shifting light volumes that could be transformed from their initial state into a desired lighting device The proposed design is inspired by Shape Memory Polymers (SMP) and Quantum Dot (QD) LED technology to produce a flexible  and re-producible urban artifact which acts both as furniture and personalized lighting installation. The project is a prototype made of modular L-shaped panels arranged in way to create a unified tessellated surface which can be installed independently in public spaces, or applied to any urban façade or public artifact. The whole surface is assembled and attached on a thick structured frame which is embedded with a number of hidden sliding furniture and QD-LED embedded transparent Shape-shifting Polymers so that people could adjust their personalized activity and lighting space
