[light and architecture]

I have a lot for this one considering my background so this will be a large bundle.

Howeler Yoon architects made a swing park that is reactive to how fast you swing. The light gets more intense as you swing and even changes colors if it tilts or becomes unbalanced. another project by them was their white noise project. It consists of a field of fiber optics and motion sensors so that as you walk through it it lights up and mimics your path and pace by fading over time. They have a couple other projects that show them delving into light that I highly recommend looking at.

When looking at natural light a couple of my favorites are the church of light by Tadao Ando, which is exactly what it sounds like a church that has a cross shaped opening through its thick concrete exterior that allows the natural light to infiltrate the space. When the sun lines up just right you get the perfect cross. The next photo is of a Le Corbusier building, The Chapel of Ronchamp in France. This is a building that we have studied a lot when talking about how to properly day light a space. Corbusier was intent with where he placed his openings and how. Which leads me to the last photo taken at the UWM freshwater sciences school. It is the closes thing that milwaukee has to a Le Corbusier like space. You see the same effect though, thick openings with natural well lit space.
