Combining Two flexible LED screens and stretchable grid’s structure together, it forms this interactive architecture, which will be shaped by move patterns.

Through the fluctuation and flickering of the screen, and the guidance of the attractor (the bubble), this design hopes to erase the barriers, which caused by the pandemic, the racial segregation, and social network, among individuals. In this interactive architecture, we can’t know what does he or she look like until we walk close enough, we are attracted by the light circles generated by other people’s steps and the attractor also points out which direction and how far the people we are seeking is. Finally, we overcome the separations, maybe even unconsciously, and like unwrapping a Christmas present, we will receive heartfelt smiles from strangers.
