CONTEXT

Project Overview
Redesigned the exhibition experience for the second-floor darkroom at the Alice Austen House, making it more accessible through AR, digital fabrication, and interactive media. This initiative allowed audiences to engage remotely with the otherwise restricted space, blending educational design with immersive storytelling.

Our final deliverables to the client included two 1/12 scale models of the darkroom, a web-based AR experience demonstrating the photo development process, and a set of physical reliefs showcasing the darkroom’s façade, installed along the first-floor staircase.
