decisive adherence of light [images and precedents]

Here are images of Tadao's work that I have always found intriguing in their simplicity and beauty as a sculptural gesture.



For this assignment, we were asked to create a light model in which to study the interaction of both natural and artificial light within a space. Taking inspiration from architects such as Tadao Ando, we focused on the navigation and balance of light through simplicity in both gesture and form. Every void, every manipulated surface, every skewed plane was purposeful to create a subtle lighting effect in the space, to direct how one would navigate within. The form was designed to focus more on the natural light that enters through the various voids and cut outs, but the incorporation of artificial light is seen behind an angled wall, creating a soft glow, hidden, creating a sense of mystery as to where that particular light is coming from. Keeping the interior simple, for our focus was on how the integration of light and form can manipulate how one navigates through the space, we choose to have one object within the space, a table with a reflective surface, minimal in form, it's purpose to reflect the various light entering the space.
