Daylight Model Inspiration

We chose to study the product design of Steven Holl and explore the ways he showed light through his works. In many of his works, he makes several small cutouts that creates a pattern on the object it reflects onto. He intersects different planes that all have cutouts on them to create an image that reflects onto a surface. We used the idea to create an active, lively space on the gathering side of our model. We studied the MIT dorms and drew inspiration from the square cutouts on the facade of the building and incorporated that into the intimate side of our model. Holl uses clean lines to create geometric shapes in his works and design which is what we took as inspiration for this project.
