Research

The building I researched before taking on this project was Le Cobusiers Palace of Assembly.

The analysis of light mainly took place in the hyperbolic assembly place.

Corbusier used three main openings at the top of the hyperboloid in order to add natural light into this massive meeting space. Some research says that the use of the yellow walls and yellow flooring was used to make the room brighter because of the insufficient amount of natural light which was allowed into this chamber.

The hierarchy is clearly defined when we look at the cross sectional views.

Corbusier used odd shapes and curves in order to capture the light the way he wanted.
