As I begin to specify natural and artificial lighting
strategies throughout my design, the idea of creating
experience for the individual comes into play. "Blue
Forest" is a suspended canopy in an outdoor courtyard,
offering a slot of open sky that casts ever-changing
shadows along the pathway. The shadows flow into
the interior as well, providing contrasting forms on the
various surfaces throughout. Blue Forest is a simple
piece of architecture that creates a fluid silhouette and
makes a bold statement. Light flows through the
negative spaces, casts shadows of the positive forms,
and emphasizes the fact that the organic lines are
drawing attention to the natural sky above.
