Implementation:

The flowgraph above can be modified to switch lights on or off depending on how many people are in a certain area of space. The flowgraph could also store the average number of people entering a certain space/architecture and cause lights to dim or increase in brightness accordingly. The higher the average number people, the longer the lights stay on before dimming to black. The lower the average, the quicker the lights dim to black.

Brief:

My concept will be to utilise the data from the pachube feed which will control the interior lighting of an architecture. As more people enter the architecture and/or a certain area within the architecture, the more lights will be switched on. As people start to leave, lights will begin to switch off. I'll attempt to create a lighting arrangement that will create the illusion of a larger room as more and more lights are switched on.

I will attempt to record the average number of people within the architecture or space over a certain period of time as well. The higher the average, the longer the lights will stay on. The lower the average, the quicker the lights will dim.

I may attempt to create a flowgraph that will 'expand' the interior space or morph the interior architecture/walls so as to create a larger or smaller room as people walk in and out. This flowgraph would work in tandem with the lighting to further create the illusion of a larger or smaller room.
