Light + Site
How does light carves cuts, shapes and penetrates site?
The new architecture shields the user from the source of brash, hard light. Vertical and horizontal planes are constructed from staggered and offset woven panels of concrete, glass and fabric. Light enters only through openings that are shielded from straight-on view by alternately cantilevering sections of the gallery surface.
Where the form is configured as a ‘relaxed’ state, only twice reflected light is visible and softened to a subtle glow. See-through openings are visible only from oblique angles and where ‘tension’ is applied to the form’s surface. In this instance, the light is encouraged to fill the void formed and project along the taut shaft of the surface. Contrasting combinations of light diffusing weave and light absorbing materials control the dispersal and course of light.
