The Site Light
Drexel University Undergraduate Work - 2018
The Site Light is a rapid, non-verbal communication device for first responders.
The reality of global warming is becoming more apparent with every natural disaster, one of the biggest challenges for first response teams is communication in the field.
My classmate, Nick, and I began by researching how emergency response teams communicate on the ground. We were looking for opportunities to help facilitate communication between different teams, and found inspiration in graffiti.
FEMA utilizes a spray paint system to record information onto structures.
Nick and I took inspiration from Graffiti Research Labs, and their LED “Throwie”
How can we combine the two inspirations? How can we create a light system that conveys information to first responders and civilians alike?
