Forty Qualities Exercise
Navigation
Introduction
In February, as a class we named forty daylighting qualities that were interesting for us to try to find, observe and photograph. During the following few weeks each student independently recorded thirty three of these qualities to be then presented in class. The forty categories were not precisely defined, which contributed to wide variety of loose interpretations. And then there were some categories as 'holy' or 'ephemeral' light which captured everybody's imagination in different way... Here is my pool of daylighting qualities.
