Graduate Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Design faculty Alex Barker and Reid Freeman installed Photochromic Organ, a site-responsive installation for the north stairwell of the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova, in Coimbra, Portugal. Composed of a series of volumetric forms installed within the west and north window niches, the work engages the monastery as a receptive environment, an architecture that receives light, holds traces of time, and continually reveals its relationship to the world beyond its walls. The vertical forms recall the rhythmic arrangement of organ pipes, referencing the monastery’s ecclesiastical history and the organ as a symbolic and architectural presence within sacred space.
