PARASITE LIGHTING SYSTEM

This project is a parametric lighting system designed using Grasshopper as a design tool and fabricated by CNC. The system allows for flexibility in the number and size of openings, which can be adjusted based on parameters. The concept for this project draws inspiration from barnacles found on rocks in the sea. This paraside light attached to the walls, casting illumination into the surrounding space. This gives the impression that the light is emanating from deep within the walls, stimulating the imagination of the users.

This lighting system is made of Medium Density Fibreboard and consists of 42 apertures and 210 distinct trapezoidal-shaped pieces, with one bulb attached to each opening. Each trapezoidal piece is connected with cable ties.
