Project Sunlight

The goal for this project was to create a human centered design proposal to be used for improving the quality of life in Toronto. The intention was to explore potential positive impacts of experiencing design within the city.

“Project sunlight is a design/artistic proposal for the city of Toronto to utilise blank spaces for art rather than ads, with a goal to adress the lack of sunlight experienced during the winter months. The project entails a creative solution to make Toronto a more positive environment during the winter season.It proposes to project scenes that are reminiscent of sunlight, warmth and serenity on blank spaces around the city during the evening hours from 4:30pm – 9:00pm. These scenes would be displayed within public spaces with high population densities to replace the sunlight which would be present within the time stated, during the spring and summer months. The project explores how the change in Torontos visual environment could positively impact mental health affected by seasonal changes.”
