  • Davidson, Charlie. Charlie-davidson.com. 28 April 2011 <www.charlie-davidson.com>.

Mr. Davidson has explored many different furniture design projects.  Among his many interests he has been most attached to designing  seats, tables, and luminaries.  In his designs he explores forms that promote texture and materials that highlight weight and color.   Within the luminaries that Mr. Davidson has designed there is a reoccurring theme of an explosion.   Four projects that explore the theme of explosion through layers of light, shadow, and color are IRIS2, RUFF, Monster, & Black Light.  Each design utilizes a technique where the outer shell of the luminaries is opaque and the light emanates from within.  He selective creates varying patterns of opaqueness for which the light to pass around.  On the reverse side of the opaque shell’s are vibrant colors that light reflects, again passed the dark opaque shell, to the viewer.  His technique allows him to create varying experiences depending on the combination of transparency and color the luminaries encompass.

  • Indexhibit. Kimiis.28 April 2011 <www.kimiis.ca>.

Kimiis is a design firm of architects, engineers and designers.  There firm is multidisciplinary but focus on digital fabrication.   Bright idea, one of their installation, was on display at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.  The installation was multimedia experience where the digital fabricated screen separated the user from the crowd to achieve a unique experience.  Aside from the multimedia aspect of the installation, the digital fabricated wood ribs evoke a compelling array of light and shadow that becomes more pronounce from the artificial colored light.

  • Wang, Hongbiao. Hongbiao Wang | Won Ju lim’s work. 28 April 2011 <hongbiao-roxanne.blogspot.com/2008/03/architectural-forms.html>.

Won Ju Lim is sculpture in Los Angeles.  Her luminarie installation are interesting because they not only incorporate architectural forms, but they rely on the use of colored acrilic material to bounce and reflect light throughout the geometric forms.  The effect produces intriguing gradient of reflected and bounce color lite from underneath.

  • Art, San Francisco Museum of. Take your Time: Olafur Eliasson. Ed. Madeleine Grynsztein. San Francisco / New York & London: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art / Thames & Hudson, 2007.
The book was a result of the Olafur Eliasson’s exhibition in at San Francisco MoMa (Metropolitan of Museum of Art) in 2008 with show cased many of his works to that time.  Among his more structural installations was the Inverted shadow tower in 2004.  Here we see an installation that focuses less on exterior profile and more on what is being projected from the inside to the outside.  Mr. Eliasson’s work works with main with the atmospheric qualities of color, reflected, and refracted light.  Contrast plays an important role in his work to make experience more dramatic, especially when using electric lighting.
