This project is an homage to the late U.S. Congressman John Lewis, who was a pivotal figure during the fight for civil rights in the 60’s. His life was marked by countless heroic moments, and to properly honor it we concluded that the user had to walk in John Lewis’ shoes. To do so, we translated different moments of the congressman’s life into an architectural sequence, where the language of each space evoked different moments of his life journey, a concept we later named biographical architecture. During the journey, the lighting of the spaces becomes progressively brighter, guiding the visitors through the dark times of segregation and towards the ultimate passing of the Civil Rights Bill.
