The phenomenology of natural elements such as water and wind has always been fascinating. There is something mesmerizing about the movement of these elements . One option for my final project would be a way to harness one of these elements into a building facade that would create lighting atmospheres manipulated according to the movement of these forces. During my undergraduate program I incorporated this idea into a meditation center’s roof that wasn’t very successful due to the lack of its full integration and exploration of its construction. For my final project I would investigate a working scaled model.

One idea for the lighting model for bouncing color involves a louver system that would bounce a certain color during sunrise while bouncing a different scheme during sundown. The plan is to create different interior atmospheres during the day. Implementing the scheme would include figuring out what atmospheres would be replicated and how the different sun orientations would affect their quality.
