In this warm-up assignment, we observed, photographed and sketched a model with different configurations of closure and screening. The goal was to learn to estimate the distribution and quality of light within a space which was a good introduction to the main concepts of this course.
This
is an exercise in which Bill, Sahar and I constructed and tested a
daylighting model representing room 1000 of Wurster Hall. We took
compared the real space and the model via photographs and measurements
with a light meter. Then we made modifications and retested the model with
new skylights at the front of the balcony to reduce glare around the
framed view of the bay and San Francisco beyond.
This assignment was to take 32/41 daylight qualities from around the UC Berkeley Campus and my trip to Venice.
This project is an investigation of eight different windows over the course of the late 19th through the 20th Century on the UC Berkeley Campus.
This exercise was an informal
exploration of the qualities of light available from the sky, sun, and
reflection/transmission of exterior surfaces. I explored ten
different conditions using a crude model of a studio project I
did this semester.
The last assignment was to document how
daylight changes over a given period of time. In this case, I chose
to capture the changing edge of day sunlight on the evening of Friday May
14th at the Tinker's workshop where Mark Anderson's studio was having an
end of the semester party.
