In conclusion, the project yielded the result for which I was hoping: a transportable room dividing screen with an ambient light source for when guests or visitors want privacy while staying in a living or common room area. In terms of design, a multitude of other materials for the tubes as well as various other light sources could be chosen for the project that would provide a higher quality feel than the ones to which I had access.
The height of the wall is 75" and the span of the mock-up is approximately 36". If more tubes were available the effect of a larger mock-up could have been more visually impacting. Without high quality machining, the light revealing slits of the tubes, I realize, aren't as well spaced as they potentially could have been. Also, the amount of these slits could have been fewer, for the light that was ultimately given off was pretty substantial.By reimagining materials available and utilizing some engineering and architecture skills, this project was a relative success. This project required approximately 50 hours of design, development and construction and ultimately cost appoximately $30.
