Visual Effects of Lighting Objective: Explore light from a purely visual perspective, first through observation and then through communication and representation in both 2 and 3 dimensions. Exploration: Light can reveal or conceal the texture of a surface + The angle and intensity of light gives form to the edges of the texture, but the texture becomes concealed when light illuminates the surface uniformly + Both light and shadow play an integral part in revealing or concealing the texture of a surface

Collaboration with Paggy Chang, Lilian Lu, Genda Lin | Student Grant Proposal 2011
E-volve: Lighting Proposal for NYC Public Parks Mission: To foster the understanding of the design intersections between nature and technology and to support a heightened sense of responsibility for increasing the sustainability of built environments Objective: Propose a design for a self-sustaining playground that can generate its own power through human intervention Programs Used: Photoshop and Rhino + Grant proposal: Michael Kalil Endowment for Smart Design + Inspiration from PLANYC 2030, “dozen of high quality fields are rendered all but unusable after the sun sets.�

Daylight Study: Dream Spa Objective: design and built a model to better understand daylighting in an interior space Client: Spa treatment center + Used the heliodon to understand light distribution during different times of the year + Experimented with various window types such as clerestory, light shelves, and sky lights + Tested two kinds of window treatments: diffused and clear + The diffused material obliterates the hot spot and discomfort seen in the image of the clear clerestory + Experimented with daylighting during different times of day and orientation Diffused Clerestory
