"The sense of space is created using light. The number of people entering and leaving a room directly correlates to the floor area which is lit up. As more people enter the room the lit floor area increases. As more of the floor area lights up the concept of a larger space is created."


S.W.O.T analysis


Strength- The idea of linking space and light is quite innovative. As more people enter the room, the brightness of the light will increase and give a sense of a larger space. The increased lit floor area would avoid the feeling of overcrowding.



Weakness-

One of the possibility is the color of the lights, if the color is not suitable, it will not create the concept of larger space. Secondly, as the floor area is limited, when the whole floor has been lighted up, the intensity of lights could be increased. So, the range of intensity of lights is required to make sure that the brightness is acceptable for one can see everything in the room clearly.

Opportunity-

This idea could used for a light show, as more people enter the room, the brighter the light would be. Also this idea could indicate how many people there in the light shows, and this can display the popularity of the activities. The different intensities of lights in different parts of floor in a room could divide the room into some particular spaces like some layers.

Threats-

When the lights shine directly to one's eyes, it could lead to the threats with eyesights.
