LIGHT: affecting space and perception, movement. contemplation. mood.
At the moment, what I am envisioning for the space has to do with these ideas:
Concept_
Artificial light + sunlight = ? or… exploiting one or the other
Skrims- change light path, could be used for movies, projecting images, football games
Installations- with light? with canvas? utilize light to morph/distort/change without being too distracting
mirrors? probably not.
intersections, yes.
sound absorption, yes.
Program_
Outdoor seating/relaxing for residents and customers- adjacent to Georges
Courtyard (cozy) feel for residents who need gathering space
Planting- planters for seating, creating space, linear bike/pedestrian path
Raised gathering area?- informal seating
Steps, ramps, some change in elevation, create interest, deck-ish thing for bands?? noise issue with that?
Path system running through and connecting to streets,
Part of larger circulation system (BREC implemented paths through BR)
Precedent_
Robert Irwin- use of space and light
James Turrell

Hey lady. If you’re interested at all, I have the Public Art Review on my desk that is all about lighting.
