Design Metaphor:Building Blocks

Strategy:

•Add definition to the building shapes through the use of color

•Emphasize edges through the use of linear sources

•Create “glowing” glass curtain wall through washing interior walls with light


FaçadeDesign Goals:– Highlight the architectural shapes– Use warm and cool colored lighting to emphasize the different materials

used on façade– Integrate interior illuminated rooms with the exterior façade lighting to

create glowing walls– Vertical Illuminance = 3 fc
