the OSC Action Center

...guided by nature,to reveal wonder and delight

The aesthetic of

Imagery...

...which shows the wonder of nature we are surrounded by and our engagement with it.

Colors...

...inspired by the Oregon landscape, with an adapted pallet for each season.

Inspiration from the OSC logo moves with the changing of the seasons.

Typefaces...

A mixture of clean, professional typefaces and rough or handwritten typefaces to capture the spectrum of design within sustainability from sleek to DIY.

Typefaces...

Make use of water systems for sound.

Sound...

Real time recording of birds throughout the seasons and areas of playback focused in designated lounging areas in the Action Center

Movement...Mimic movement in nature such as capillary action, or harness natural movement like wind or rain through mechanisms like moving mirrors.

Shape...Inspirations from nature.

Materials...

Using materials with a rich history in our region as well as materials that have an aspiring future in our environment.

Materials...

...that are everyday objects, repurposed in a beautiful way to tie together sleek design with DIY.

...that emulates the natural habitat and

delightful spaces within a forest.

...LanternsLighting...

Reflecting on an earlier time when everything moved at a slower pace and generations read, held discourse, darned and contemplated by the soft, gently flickering light of a lantern and campfire...the warmth associated with an 'open flame' is an area we'd like to focus development of the artificial light within the Action Center. A mix of streamlined and sculptural forms, with carefully selected materials, that would function like lanterns of yore, but with the energy efficiency of modern LED technology.

...Natural Light

An installation with the same effect as dappled light through a tree canopy. Using light and the arc of the sun path throughout the seasons and camera obscura of the streetcar.

...Embedded light

Light emitting 'wallpaper' and clocks would enable a variety of effects and information that integrates with materials.

LED Campfire ‘pit groups’ where groups of people can gather and commune...like mankind has always done...
