Daylighting BOX

For the day lighting project we really wanted to focus on breaking out of the box as well as the designers we looked at, we wanted to utilize their elements of design as best as possible. Multilateral day lighting was achieved through the use of four types of openings in this model, which in total create a space for both gathering and quiet contemplation. The ribs on the southern wall provide shade for the interiors as well as providing daylight openings. As a result of the curved light shelf, the top light entering the space diffuses on the surrounding walls providing no harsh shadows. However, the skylights located on the light shelf control the top light and only allows specific light downward to create the pattern of light on the interior floor. The impact of this combination of lighting is diverse within this space but is unified through the structures that create this daylit atmosphere.
