View in Sunset mode
Architecture as a living organism, coming alive in three modes - Sunset, Night, and Event (noise in arena activates lighting).
This project is inspired by the idea that architecture can be a living, breathing organism that can come alive by the activity of the building’s end users. The energy created in a building can be projected outward into the environment and conversely, the surrounding environment’s energy brought inward.
Project Video
This project has 3 modes that change in the course of the day.
Sunset
Lighting responds to the color palette at sunset, different every day.
Night
Light patterns change infinitely in varying cycles, never repeating.
Event
Noise in the Arena activate the lights on the exterior of the tower.
During Sunset
The lighting responds to the real-time environmental and color conditions at sunset, different every day. The intention is for Inside/Out to have a direct dialogue with the landscape initiating a conversation between the natural and the artificial.
In Night mode
The light patterns are designed to change infinitely in varying cycles. The goal is to never have a repeated pattern during the life of the project.
Various Color States: Evening Mode
During Events in the Arena
Crowd noise and activity is captured and directly programmed in real time via the dynamic movement of the LED lights that are connected to a microphone sensor located near the bleachers. This sound data activates the lighting in the circulation tower, with busier lighting patterns during loud activity, and subtle movement during quieter times.

This project has 3 modes: Sunset, Night and Event/Active.
Sunset: The lighting is programmed to respond to the environmental/color conditions at sunset, which is different every day. The intention is for Inside/Out to have a direct dialogue with the landscape and to initiate a conversation between the natural and the artificial.
Night: When in this mode, the light patterns are designed to change infinitely in varying cycles. The goal is to never have a repeated pattern during the life of the project.
Event/Active: During the Lobo basketball games and special events, the noise level in the Arena activate the lights on the exterior of the circulation tower. The crowd noise is captured and directly programmed in real time via the dynamic movement of the LED lights that are connected to a microphone sensor located near the bleachers.
