IDEA FORMATION

LIGHT BACKGROUND RESEARCH: My light research was done based on The Palace of Assembly, by Le Corbusier. This building is located in Chandigarh, India. One of the interesting points to call attention to is the adoption of a circular form for the hall which seems contrary to the development of good acoustics. The Assembly Hall is made in a hyperbolic shell with an average thickness of 15 cm, constant throughout its surface, resulting in a very low cost and a minimum of weight. This shell does not terminate in a horizontal but in an oblique section which shall receive a metallic framework. This framework will become a veritable physical laboratory destined to ensure the interplay of natural lighting, artificial lighting, ventilation and acoustic-electronic mechanisms.
