Reshaping Legacy
After spending a year and a half at Pratt Institute Campus, I’m deeply fascinated by the institute’s history and architecture. I designed an interactive building guide to visualize the transformation of the Pratt Institute building through color reaction under lights. To achieve this effect, I created the images in Photoshop and Illustrator by layering a photo archive from Jstor and photographs, color-coding, and overlapping the prints. The book features a map of the part buildings, the changes in Pratt Institute buildings from their construction (visible under green film) to the current date (visible under red film) through images, and the shift in the purpose of the featured buildings through text.

Demonstration
When red film is applied to the page, the images reveal buildings as they appeared during their original construction. The text also shifts to display names and information that correspond with the photos. When green film is applied to the page, the images reveal buildings after renovation. The accompanying text also shifts to display names and information that correspond with the images. When blue film is applied to the page, the images reveal the buildings as they appear in the present day, with red, green, and yellow becoming visible.
