R.O.S.E

Made by Chris Perry and Natalie Harmon

To create a responsive origami tessellation to alter the tempo of natural light in an environment, thereby affording a slower walking pace for the occupants of that space. The presence of a person below the structure triggers a slow movement, so if someone is in a rush, then they will miss what is happening right above their heads. This structure prompts people to take the time to slow down, look up, and observe what is going on around them.
