THIS . THAT . THEN
2021
Outdoor Activation for Englewood,Chicago // Public Space
This / That / Then is a three-part spatial study that invites users to engage through movement, interaction, and time. Each piece explores a different layer of spatial experience — form, transition, and shadow — offering a modular system for both presence and passage.
This is a reconfigurable structure composed of triangular modules. Designed for movement, it allows users to manipulate its shape and orientation, redefining boundaries and crafting new spatial conditions.
That is a temporary open-air pavilion situated as a threshold to an existing building. Acting as both a moment of pause and a point of passage, it gives users the option to sit, gather, or move through as they transition toward a programmed space.
Then is the ephemeral counterpart to That: the shadow it casts throughout the day. As the light shifts, Then traces time’s passage across the site, inviting subconscious engagement with the changing environment.
Together, these three elements form a spatial triptych—exploring how we shape, move through, and are shaped by space in time.
