Digital Craft Exercise - 2002 |
|||
Modelling an Art Gallery |
|||
And documenting its design and lighting |
|||
|
This course explores the Craft of the Digital in Architecture and Building. It uses the internet to document and assist the collaboration of two people collaborating in the construction of a 3D model of a significant recent daylit Art Gallery. It explores the role of global illumination (photon mapping) in the development of a design understanding of the interplay of light and shade under daylight as well as electric light. It uses the Art Gallery/Museum, "the modern day cathedral" (Mario Botta in the San Francisco Chronicle 1994) as a vehicle to develop this understanding. | ||
