Colour, light and movement as pixels. The design we present for the Gateway project can be thought as a crowd of pixels that stand side by side one another in creating sculptural form. This form has been generated through computational means and consideration of site boundaries and layout. Our design in represent-ed through different dimensioned boxes and material constructions, each with a purpose and quality that adds to the design.

These boxes as pixels have only one function to be active or inactive at a given moment of time. This function is the establishment of an interior light that illumi-nates the box. As individual pixels their purpose is non-existent but when func-tioning together a mass of unique and exciting lighting effects and patterns are presented.

Colour has been a constant influence and driver in this project. We have integrat-ed colour through the use of lights within the boxes to give different effects rela-tive to the box material. The clear provides fraction, white gives a glowing aspect and silver/ metallic presents reflection. Colour is a means of communication ac-tive pattern across the exterior of the design a way of making the form become non-static and an example of dynamic design.

BASED ON BOTH THE CONSTRUCTION METHODS THAT FORMULATE OUR GATEWAY DESIGN, IT IS A POSSIBLI-TITY FOR ALTERNATE COMBINATIONS OF THE PIXELS TO OCCUR. THE FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLE OF TESTING OF THIS IDEA.
