Reactor Institute

The Reactor Institute Delft opened a design contest for the renovation of the reactor dome.

The proposed concept is a network of light components that reenact the battle with malignant cells in the human body. The animation refers to the research that is done within the dome to create awareness of the value of the institute among the public.

Lighting Dome

The dome is the outcome of a lighting design course. The lighting researchers at the faculty of IDE, TU Delft, currently have two installations to experiment with either directional lighting or diffused lighting. The lighting dome combines those two types of lighting in one system that is able to light any object at the center of the dome from 360 degrees. With this the researchers can create innumerable lighting scenes with combinations of directional and diffused lighting from any direction.

Memnun Oldum

Memnun Oldum (EN: Nice to meet you) is an interactive installation that shows the influence of an individual on a group.

The installation evoked many interesting discussions on cultural differences during these exhibits. And, albeit for a brief moment, it let people evaluate their own perspective towards those cultural differences.
