SOMNIUM

Somnium is the result of a design-build project, the intent of which was to create a portable display case aimed at recruiting prospective students to Carleton Architecture. Projects were to be collapsible into a volume of one cubic meter. This prototype aims to stimulate a viewer’s curiosity, motivating further exploration and interest into the program. The project seeks attention by projecting its presence through light; sound, and a form which attempts to evoke the sublime.
