First place winner of the 2016 Innolight Competition which is a competition organized by Julle Oksanen and Hannu Tikka of the Light and Space Academy between Philadelphia Univeristy, Aalto University in Finland and the University of Oregon. It was designed in only one week.
    
    We were asked to make a pop-up instillation to be placed on Walnut Street, Center City Philadelphia. The only requirement was to use lighting to transform the space.

    The Playscape is an escape from the pressures of everyday life. Using a slightly opaque tensile material that stretches in all directions, People can break away from their usual routines and enjoy the playful nature of bouncing. The white glowing path going through the terrain creates different topographies for sitting, running and jumping. At night an entire new element is introduced when the pressure sensitive lights activate. The lights and colors change with the pressure being applied which adds a whole new layer of interaction and excitement for all ages.
