ARC257 LIGHT PROJECT

What is a light project?

A light project is when an Architects design components to control the natural light into the structure. The task specifically was to design the structure in a way that natural light does not hit directly the walls and floors. In other words, direct the light using open slits throughout the structure that limits the amount of light that enters. I have taken inspiration from a few structures that utilize this technique.
