To journey through a dream is a lonely experience, unique to an individual as their mind navigates the metaphysical world of sleep. These dreamspaces are ephemeral, limited to only a few hours of the night. What if we could return together to these liminal spaces that connect night and day?
The goal is to simulate our dreams through use of architecture, capturing celestial spaces in a tower. The effect is created via the appropriation of a light tunnel, using a series of transparent dichroic screens which manipulate light into a dreamy journey into galaxies far away. The user arrives at the heart of our dreamspace through a series of colorful clouds, swirling cosmos, and twinkling stars.
Through the architecture of a tower, we are able to create seemingly infinite compositions of light using color and shape, cementing our dreams into physical space. Users can venture into this tower and return to their dreamscapes, hopefully getting some beauty rest along the way.
