light is turned on by unwinding the woven light enclosure and transforming it back into thread on a spool which can then be used to build up the light enclosure again.

Audrey Gatta Undergraduate ¶ 4.021 Design Studio: How to Design ¶ Critics: Skylar Tibbits, Marlena Fauer For our project of designing a light enclosure, I “explored the use of static electricity to change the light intensity. My enclosure was created using paper shreds and a balloon. The user would be able to interact with the light by forming static electricity on the surface of the balloon, leading to the desired intensity of light.

About

Imprint is a publication designed and compiled by graduate students at MIT Architecture. A collective document that makes space for every student who chooses to participate, Imprint privileges breadth and inclusion. It is a material trace that documents the Department of Architecture over the course of one semester. Each issue encapsulates current critical and creative work produced across discipline groups and formats. Imprint 01 is a handshake—a first impression—that is simultaneously a memory. This inaugural issue, conceived of during a dispersed and mostly virtual semester, relies on a future commitment to transform into an ongoing archive. Although the Department is currently untethered to a single place, building or region, Imprint 01 is a reflection of a place in time. Collecting and binding together work from all five branches of the school allows us a vantage point that had remained inaccessible even when our hallways and studios were full of energy and conversation.
