Light

The concept of this project was to display how a building uses and takes in light. As light comes in the building it can be controlled using different techniques like backlighting, reflectors, and canons. Using curved walls, it allows for light patterns to form. The building we designed was a non-denominational chapel, on the Farmingdale Campus. we used creative lighting techniques to create a peaceful and meditative space.
