We could make little pools of light, and place them through the space (or prob one end of the space) to make a kind of light pathway and we could try different configurations to see what\u2019s most interesting to people.<\/p>\n<div>We tried a couple of things \u2013 the triangle form looks nice, and we could build with proper materials, but the mylar doesn\u2019t wave very naturally (though there was no wind to test with so maybe shaking it was misleading). We also tried cutting the mylar so it flapped more. Lastly we tried a hanging ball, with a light beneath.\u00a0We will continue to explore the form of \u00a0the construction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2014-11-19_17.07.18.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-694\" src=\"https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2014-11-19_17.07.18-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"2014-11-19_17.07.18\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2014-11-19_17.07.18-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2014-11-19_17.07.18-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2014-11-19_17.02.26-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"2014-11-19_17.02.26\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2014-11-19_17.02.26-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2014-11-19_17.02.26-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/112333870?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nBack to North End Way<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We also went back to the North End Way on Sunday night around 5:15pm 6:15pm and observed where the opportunities could be to make our prototype more engaging.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_1142.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_1142-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1142\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_1142-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_1142-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_1142.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/northendway_diagram-01.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/northendway_diagram-01-1024x377.png\" alt=\"northendway_diagram-01\" width=\"500\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/northendway_diagram-01-1024x377.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.just4letters.com\/pi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/northendway_diagram-01-300x110.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Surroundings businesses:<\/strong> We observed the surrounding stores and businesses during the dark and categorized them to food related business, stores, entertainment.
