Structure + Function
The chamber is built with plywood and multiple layers of insulation, inclusing mass-loaded vinyl, bass insulation, and acoustic panels.
The chamber is designed to deprive one’s senses and shift their perception of sensory limitations. Each student spend one hour inside to experience its sensory effects and reflect on their personal experience.
