Today was our first lesson back to college and also
our first lesson of the Pathway Stage. In this stage
we are to start working on our own and make our own
lesson plans & objectives.
I gathered my ideas and then ha a talk with Kate about
what I'd like to do.
As I would like to become an architect, I am looking at
architecture for my project. I am looking at
"architecture & light".
From my Photography project I did last term I am taking
the idea I had, "Darkness should not be feared, it should
be overcome". Basically light is there to overcome
darkness, whether metaphorically or physically.
Kate said this could be like using light to create life &
structure
I would like to look at:
- how light enters the building
- how light within the building effects it's surroundings
- buildings designed with lights
The buildings will mostly be made from glass so light can
penetrate the buildings and the surroundings.
I will mainly be looking at how the building would look at
night, but I could also consider to look at how the building
looks in the day. I could look at reflection and mirror glass.
Kate said I could also look at refraction and the effects on
light once it enters glass.
As global warming is a big issue, I must look at sustainability
and how it will effect my designs. Example, the use of light
and how energy efficient they can be. Also the use of renewable
energy e.g. solar engergy, and also using insulation, etc.
I have been researching architecture (buidlings) which use the
effects of light, reflection, etc. and have found many.
Kate said for now I should not concentrate on the designing
of the building but experiment with light. So, this is what
I'll be trying to do in my next couple of lessons.
I would also like to include long exposure photography, including
light photography into this project.
