Intro to Architecture 1010

Clemson University, Fall 2014

Professor Clarissa Mendez

This design operation was intended to help create awareness of what light can do for a space. I knew I wanted to create a space with warm, honey like lighting, so I chose materials that would allow for that effect. A vessel of light can be described best as an object or building that captures the qualities of light to the best of its ability. The hexagonal properties in this project allowed light to be found in multiple ways. The stairs in the center of the model were added to have a sense of scale. Photographing the model in direct sunlight was essential to its color scheme and warmth. At this stage in my design career, it was extremely important to use knowledge of lighting and architecture moving forward. I value this project because it taught me invaluable ideas of the way light can impact a space.
