observe the model in different settings, photograph the model, estimate the distribution of light within the model, measure the model, modify the model, and finally, repeat the estimate / measure cycle -- whew. The exercise provides a microcosmic preview of more detailed exercises to come.
For this exercise we (Matt Snoap, Sannihita Takkallapalli, and myself) constructed a daylighting model representing an existing space, an art classroom in Kroeber. After documenting the differences between the model and real space, we modified and retested the model for comparison.
For this assignment I photographed 33 images, each illustrating one of 41 qualitative points from a roster assembled by the class and is intended to sharpen one's understanding of a variety of daylighting issues.
In this exercise I experienced and documented at least 15 spaces that I encountered during the course of a day, thus exploring the extraordinary range of luminous environments we are exposed to.
This project is an investigation of the
window over the course of the 20th century on the University of California
campus in Berkeley.
An exploration of the qualities of light available from the sky, the sun, and the reflection/transmission of exterior surfaces.
This exercise investigates the dynamic aspects of daylight in an architectural space by documenting and presenting lighting qualities over a period of time.
