The function of our design is to direct people into Blake while creating gallery spaces. The system is designed to pull people into the space through a series of forces which will be assigned to points based on decided rules and also dictated by student projects outside and inside of Blake Hall. The system is also designed to serve as a visual representation to the number of people entering and leaving our space.
The system rules are based off a series of points which are decided on spatial locations and physical properties. The entire space will be divided into a grid and each point will be assigned x,y,and z coordinates. Each point will be assigned a force value that attracts or detracts, which will then affect the radius 
of its correlating curve. Example: If point A is the entrance to our space and the point is located spatially in coordinates 2,4,10 and is given a light force than the curve will have more sag, on the other hand if it is given a stronger force then the curve will tighten. Simultaneously depending on the number of people in the space certain points will control the curve size. This will allow for the curve to shrink and grow.
At this moment the program
will consist of direct and indirect affects. Direct affects include gallery space for student projects, a location for the student chapter, and a gathering space with seating. Indirect affects include guiding visitors into Blake Hall and visually representing the number of people in our space through the growth and shrinking of our contraption.
