Follow Light (Future Furniture Part II)

This research project examines the application of “Following Light” for Intelligent Personal Assistants in shared spaces. Specifically, it considers how the central space of a stairwell can be reimagined as a place where house mates do more than just cross paths with each other and how user technology can improve an individual’s emotional response to the home environment and facilitate a different social interaction within the space.
