Dupont Underground

Abandoned almost continuously for over 50 years, this former trolley station below historic Dupont Circle has already been reborn as a rebellious citizen lead arts organization. The future vision for this space is intended to build upon that momentum, amplifying what makes it unique and captivating: the ability to be thoroughly immersed, both physically underground and through its digital media running continuously along its seductively curving interior walls. The concept is simply to attach - to the ceiling - a low profile and minimally detailed housing for all necessary mechanical infrastructure (i.e. power, lighting, air conditioning, sprinklers, etc.). The exposed face of the housing is envisioned as a continuous digital surface. A similar strategy will be integrated into the existing track bed to literally wrap the space in digital media.
