From assignment 2, adding color.
I was looking for a way to bounce color without giving away the color source to the occupant. In this way, the space is color-malleable due to time of day. The day starts with a warm red glow emanating from the right side and ends in a cool glow from the left side. Although originally intended to be the inverse, reflecting a cool morning ending a hot afternoon, I realize that the a warm morning followed up by a cool evening would be more suitable in many climates during hot summer months.
This unintended gem is particularly interesting especially after reading some of Marietta Millet’s Light Revealing Architecture. I can picture these color schemes making life someplace like Austin, Texas (my previous home) – when summers can mean several months of 100+ temperatures without pause – more palatable to the human body.
