Nature & Light

Week 3
The knowledge given to me from Amily's lecture is:-
- how architect make use of light to its full potential
- Ordering principle
- Nature minerals
- Time
- framing space

This is a picture of St. Ignatius' interior.
The architect for this is Steven Holl.
He is a great architect who creates colors without actually coloring.
Like in the picture he uses the sunlight and the wall, resulting in the reflection of the light and bringing in both light and color.
I am truly amazed by this since he turns the simple way of lighting the room into something amazing like this.

The ordering principles Amily talked about are:
- Hierarchy
- Symmetry
- Axis
- Rhythm
- Datum
- Transformation

Here is an example of one of the ordering principles, Axis.

This is the Salk Institute.
The architect is Louis Khan.
 The Axis for this picture is the water channel in the court yard with the sea view beyond.
An Axis is a straight line established by two or more elements

The following picture explains the uses of natural material.

The wall in this picture is made by using the dirt and minerals we commonly see.
All kind of dirt and minerals were used by layers creating this beautiful natural wall.
