3-D light sketch model / machine

This light machines did not work, when the light test was done, because the opening should have been tighter in order to let less light come into the the building. This light machines are useful to undertand how the light gets into the building.

 

 

Narrative:

I have been selected to design a proposed non-denominational chapel located on the campus of SUNY Farmingdale. The College wants this to be a profoundly spiritual place that people of all faiths can worship and reflect on events of life. The College believes this can be achieved by the creative use of light. The College has outlined a preliminary program that is listed below. A site has yet to be selected on campus; the College is looking for guidance from the Architect. The building should be integrated into the fabric of the campus. The College explicitly requests the design not be symmetrical.
