Fog Bank is an installation investigating affective environments through multiple means: textural variation, light & shade, blurring, reflectivity, and varying opacity. The surface of the installation is composed of plastic tubes clustered together to form a surface derived from programmatic elements within the space. Together, the tubes create a highly animated effect, alternately shimmering with light or distorting it to create an atmosphere diffused throughout the space at once tangible yet ethereal.
Fog Bank was designed and fabricated by 5th-year Cal Poly Architecture students in the Senior Thesis Design Studio "Affective Environments" taught by Eric Nulman.
