Writing in Light Following my essay research of phenomenology as defined by Alberto Pérez-Gómez, I was fascinated by the idea of poetry in architecture and, believing that the space for writing had to be most inspiring, concentrated on bringing light in different ways to create a stimulating experience.
By providing each of the writing 'alcoves' with a unique set of openings, different light conditions are created. Light is then reflected down by the slanted wall and bounces down in between the 'ribs', delivering diffused and inspiring task lighting. Further research into the requirements for a writing space led me to an understanding that some writers need a view for inspiration, whereas others find this distracing and so individual control using timber shutters was introduced.
