Looking at the third floor in Higgins Hall at Pratt Institute, three elements——spacial division, light and circulation are being analyzed and modeled as wood frame, glass sheet and wooden volume.
In order to create a section for relaxation in this studio space, tectonic operations are extracted from a wooden handrail detail and movie Avatar. By connecting circulation, folding light to follow circulation and shifting corners of spacial frame to touch the light, a space with more depth, bigger view and sufficient light is created.
