Day Light Model

For this light model we had to design a daylight model in our groups. We were to choose a designer and study their daylighting techniques. We choose Steven Holl to study.

INSPIRATIONS
We chose to study the product design of Steven Holl and explore the ways he showed light through his works. In many of his works he makes several small cutouts that create a pattern on the object they reflect onto. He intersects different places that all have cutouts on them to create an image that reflects onto a surface. We used this idea to create an active, liveley space on te gathering side of our model. We studied the MIT dorms and drew inspiration fromt he square cutouts on te facade of the building and incorperated that into the intimate side of our model. Holl uses clean lines to create geometric shapes in his works.

DAYLIGHT MODEL
We control the daylighting by setting the orientation where the gathering space is on the East and the intimate space is on the West. The wall with no cutouts in facing the North side. We did this so the sun would penetrate the building through the L shaped cutouts, because this is a more active space where more complex daylight shoudl be present. We avoided direct sunlight to keep from obscuring the views of the people using the space, not creating glare.
