Light Series 3 entry 1

Harris Teeter Grocery Store

Incandescent light source gives a direct light onto table surfaces.

The footcandle amount may be high as the distance between the lamp and the fabric is small. With this direct light source from above, it is difficult to distinguish the different textures in the fabric.

This restaurant sits on the southwest corner, with all glass windows, allowing lots of sunlight to wash into the space. This benefits the space by not relying on a lot of artificial lighting. The lamps used allow a glow to diffuse in the space and not directly hit any one table. This lighting creates a even hierarchy of importance as well as casual, comfortable setting.

Weatherspoon Art Gallery

Direct lighting is used in each gallery space to highlight artwork. This track lighting is intense lighting that gives a contrast to the rest of the space.










Throughout the hallway there are diffused wall sconces that do not provide that much light in the daytime, as the ceiling skylights light the whole hallway space.

Light Series 2

Stone Lobby 

The Stone Lobby is made up with very reflective materials such as marble flooring, metal framing and glass windows. With these materials, as the sun shines perfectly into the space, a great glare from the floor may hidder your sight as you enter the space. To minimize this, I would suggest to lay a type of mat on the floor to block this entry glare.

[Expressive Light]
We looked to the chapel in Ronchamp for inspiration. Diffusion of light, layers creating space and separation creating light were used in both Ronchamp and our model. The separation distance of 'walls' gives the idea of what kind of space it may be. The larger openings creates a bigger gathering space and invites large groups, as the smaller openings on the east side would be too narrow for any circulation. The only entry would be through the large space towards the back to the intimate space. With the morning sun penetrating the east wall and through the narrow slits, a diffusion of light penetrates the meditation space, creating an intimate feel. As the sun sets on the west, the light washing through the large gathering space creating direct light.
