Three Stories Tall

 

THREE STORIES TALL retells the history of the elevator and its effect on society through an interactive animated installation. Acting as a simulated elevator, the viewer presses an "elevator button"  to see an animated story open on the next floor.  As a prototype, animations were created to show the first elevator in Louis XVI's Versailles and the social classification of elevators in skyscrapers of the 1920s. 

The first elevator was for secret rendezvous in Louis's XV's Versailles
