Light Machines

 

By designing these light machines I was really able to understand the way light reflects and bounces off walls. It is clear from these light machines that curved walls are a good way to capture light. These machines are not meant to work perfectly and be successful in every aspect, they are meant to understand what works and does not work when incorporating natural light into an enclosed space.

My first light machine incorporated an arch.

 

  

Light Machine 2:

 

With this light machine I really wanted to focus the light at a certain point and capture the light.

 

  

Light Machine 3:

 

This light machine incorporate a curved wall dropping from the ceiling in order to catch the light coming through.
