LARGE OUTDOOR TWISTED DESIGN
PROMPT
Use the idea of zenithal light as a starting point for this project. Consider the Pantheon and its oculus and the way it provides light throughout the entirety of the structure. Play with the idea of light and how it penetrates the material you will use. Keep in mind the scale of this structure, make sure it's placed in a large open space for maximum light. Feel free to play with form, scale, and material in this project to create a design that brightens up.

IDEATION SKETCHES



Ideally this structure is made from strips of wood that cover all three sides. There are large wrought iron poles that support the triangular twisted shape. There are small gaps between all the strips of wood due to the twisted nature of the structure itself that filet in sunlight as well as moonlight. Aside from these narrow gaps, there is a zenithal light feature at the top of the structure that provides ample filtered and shaded light. I made 2 study models and eventually one final model in order to conduct sun studies at different times of the day.
