### Project Overview
Located in San Francisco's Dogpatch neighborhood, "Sonic Constellations" is a collaborative architectural installation that integrates art, technology, and urban experiences within Esprit Park. Covering a floor area of approximately 761 square meters, the installation aims to engage visitors through a sensory exploration of sound and light, reframing urban landscapes as a constellation of auditory experiences.

### Spatial Strategy
The design incorporates a fluid, organic form that interacts with the surrounding park environment. Gentle curves and enclosed spaces create varied auditory atmospheres, allowing visitors to move through distinct areas. The layout prioritizes accessibility, featuring ADA-compliant walkways and elevators that facilitate seamless circulation. Designated routes extend from the site's edges to central gathering points, fostering engagement and interaction. Touchpoints are strategically placed throughout the installation, enabling visitors to initiate sound experiences and encouraging a communal atmosphere.

### Material Selection
The structure utilizes a range of materials that contribute to its distinctive character:
- **ETFE Foil**: This lightweight, transparent material forms the installation's structural shell, enhancing illumination and sound projection.
- **Metal Framework**: Providing structural support, this element adds an industrial aesthetic to the design.
- **Translucent Light Panels**: Serving as screens for projected light, these panels integrate artistic and functional aspects into the installation.
- **Solar Panels**: These renewable energy sources power the audio-visual components, reflecting a sustainable approach.
- **Permeable Pavers**: The surrounding pavement is designed to manage water effectively while improving the pedestrian experience.

These choices not only reinforce the aesthetic vision but also emphasize environmental awareness and community relevance.
