The Significance of Framework and Lighting

This model explores the significance of considering lighting options in the shape and structure of a design. Being constructed with only one material, it brings focus to the framework of the design, emphasising the openings in the structure that allow natural light to enter the building and a connection between the interior and environment. In addition, the skylight panels and the small windows on the side of the roof create shadows within the rooms as light is shone from different directions, representing the movement of light in the building during different times of the day. This is significant in defining the changing atmosphere of the rooms throughout the day and the function and suitability of them for different activities.
