DRINKTANK This project created a unique and useful social space in the College. It seeks to answer a series of questions about how to provide free water, vessels for drinking, seating, lighting, and graphic signage within an integrated spatial system. The exploration that began on the ceiling datum like the LiteBEAM, but now folds down to become a wall with a double-curvature geometry. The form of the wall is determined by taking the width of the adjacent corridor at the base that transforms in section to the dimension of the existing modular ceiling grid and lighting system. The wall is self supporting while retaining a translucency to transmit natural and artificial light through fiber-optic effects demonstrated in the luminaire projects.
