Point of Impact Room

INT 262 (Spring 2022)

A room designed to spread awareness about a climate change issue prevalent in today’s world. This is a walk-through museum designed to inform visitors about coral reefs and how they are slowly dying.

I divided the museum into three sections to represent the cycles of the coral reef. The first part when you enter is “life”. The large aquarium to the side contains touch screen panels with information on how the coral reef helps the ocean and provides so many benifits. The middle section is “transformation” which contains a theater room that would play a video informing guests about how the coral reefs are dying. Finally, the last section is “destruction” as it would represent and show the aftermath of the coral reefs going extinct. I also included a small lounge attacted to the final section of the meusem for guests to discuss how to help save the coral reefs to invoke a call-to-action.

I took inspiration from the coral reefs and sea life to piece together a material pallet. I wanted the user to feel as though they are in the ocean as they walk through the space.

3Form Chroma as the ceiling which would have lighting above it twinkling to imitate the feeling of being under water.
