Azaria's Brief 

The Fire Wall is an environment with fireflies on the outside and humans on the inside. This luminous threshold alters a human's perspective on the way people interact with fireflies. 

This is a structure with multiple layers of glass. Fireflies are in the middle of the two sheets of glass while people are in the inside. The area where the fireflies exist contains water and soil to maintain a sustainable food source (snails, worms, insects). This design allows humans to witness and experience the lifestyle of fireflies and how they communicate with each other. The LED strip creates flashes of yellow lights to attract Fireflies to the area. Fireflies are always around in warm weather. Located in the Boston Commons (Public Garden), this gives people a chance to learn more about fireflies and how they can make an impact on their lives. 

Henry's brief

The Fire Wall is a lifesize environment with fireflies in between the bordering walls and human seating in the center. This luminous threshold alters a human's perspective on the way people interact with fireflies.

The Fire Wall is an all-glass structure that would be placed in the Boston Commons. The Fire Wall is a multi-layered glass structure, with human seating on the inside. The structure has a layer that consists of a firefly environment: grass, water, dirt, and smaller insects. The fireflies can exist and live their lives in the glass environment while providing flashes of beauty. The constant flickering of the fireflies will light up the structure at night, while humans sit and appreciate these insects from the inside. The design enables humans to experience the life of a firefly. Another precedent of  The Fire Wall is star gazing, over the years Boston has been polluted to the extent where all the stars are hidden behind the smog our city produces, Fire Wall replicates this idea of appreciating our natural world because of the constant flickering lights. With all of the environmental issues, our world endures today this could bring light to an environmentally unfriendly future.
