Exercise 5:

An examination of the role of context in shaping interior daylight

 
Clear sky, afternoon, facing west

Clear afternoon, facing north, catching reflections off of corrugated steel walls of HFA.  Notice the fan of crisp shadows!

The following photos are a different afternoon and evening.

Clear afternoon, facing north, green plastic fence colors the inside of the box

Dappled light facing west under the trees behind Wurster Hall.  Many differnt illumination sources from different directions.

Blue newspaper dispenser

Wurster courtyard captures reflections from many planes of light shelves and columns 

For those that like green things... diffuse from multiple reflections

Facing west on top of Doe library. Sharp shadows in direct beam sunlight

Strawberry creek, facing north.  Diffuse and colored light from vegetation. Bright swatch comes from reflections off the white bark on an aspen tree.

Mellow brown redwood bark.  Diffuse light under tree canopy.

Concrete wall north of Kroeber Hall.   Light through pine needles and reflected off concrete and grass make a rich space.

Sunset looking west from Wurster.  

Similar to the last one, but move to put sun behind Barrows.  Now the window sees blue sky and shadows are softer.

The suns fiery descent - crumpled paper about to burst into flame
