The marine theme became a way to connect several different experiences into one proposal. Suspended fish lanterns would bring colour and light above pedestrians, particularly after dark. On one façade, individually moving reflective scales were intended to catch sunlight and create changing patterns across the street.

We also proposed a wall inspired by mareld, bioluminescent plankton. It would respond to pedestrians’ movement, allowing people to encounter the installation while walking past. Fish-themed games offered a more deliberate reason to stop and spend time together. As a group, we continued to develop these ideas and plan their positions around the street’s existing functions.

The installations were presented at different levels of development. For example, the exhibition used a projection to demonstrate the proposed Mareld interaction; it was not a completed motion-responsive installation on Kyrkogatan.

At the exhibition, visitors moved through a small-scale interpretation of the street, saw the physical prototypes, could try the games and could experience the full proposal in VR. Afterwards, they answered a survey about how well the concept suited Kyrkogatan and whether it would make them more inclined to visit.

Responses were generally positive. Visitors particularly mentioned the lighting, reflections and atmosphere as engaging. Some suggested adding seating or more direct ways to interact with the installations. The feedback helped us see both the strength of the street’s visual identity and where the concept could develop further. Because visitors experienced an exhibition rather than a built intervention on Kyrkogatan, their responses indicate interest in the proposal, not a measured change in how the street is used.
