Case studies relating to transcendence and light showcased a vast variety of architectural spaces that brought about diverse lighting relationships and transcendence sequences. With the combination of both AI images and case studies relating to the sacred and profane, we progressed in our research and explored different forms of natural and artificial lighting within these spaces and how the use of lighting made these spaces either successful or unsuccessful in terms of accentuating the architectural forms. With analysis of these studies throughout the semester, the goal then was to create an all-faith meditative space within the town of Brookings, SD. The buildings aim was to synthesis the work explored in previous studies and apply it within the “Ray of Light Space.”

“RAY OF LIGHT SPACE”

Curiosity built from artificial intelligence programming led to the exploration of creating collages that highlighted the sacred and the profane. Prompts referencing aspects of the sacred and the profane developed powerful images that gave a distinction between what was sacred and what was profane.

Many of the most awe-inspiring images developed through the use of AI along with several case study examples exhibited forms that crescendoed from the entrance into spaces with high verticality. This sense of journey was very powerful in our eyes and was a key aspect we wished to explore within the design process. Along with these analysis’, we also found that unique, organic forms also added to the sense of contemplation and wonder within these spaces; which was another key concept the group agreed to explore more on.

Moving forward, regulating lines from influential components within the surrounding context of the site were created. The organic forms were organized within structured boundaries as the develpment of the building’s form and layout began.

“Man becomes aware of the sacred because it manifests itself, shows itself, as something wholly different from the profane”

The materiality of the extension cohesively relates to the existing structure. The brick facade carries onto the extension while adding modern materials such as steel, concrete, and glass. The perforated Corten steel used on the second level facade allows for filtered light to enter the second level space. The space collectively promotes gathering and interaction of individuals visiting the Agriculture Heritage Museum.

02 _ Agriculture Museum Addition

Due to heavy student traffic, lecture spaces and study spaces were added to the addition to accommodate faculty and students. A cafe accommodates students, faculty, and visiting individuals in the space.

Gallery space was applied within the floor plan to allow the display of agricultural relics and machinery of the past.

The courtyard space acts as the central hub for the space during the warmer season. The public spaces pro-mote a more interactive and diverse space for the SDSU students, SDSU faculty, and anyone visiting the space.

“In this course the focus is understanding and operating in design practice, not making buildings. We will compose form, space, shape, events, parameters, and structure to quantifiable and qualifiable effect through iterative design practice--doing it over and over with daily reflection on the effects of variations in practice.

The course is theoretical in its approach to practical things and we’ll talk extensively about the relationship between practice and theory in the act of designing. The course is rooted in teaching principles of guided inquiry and questioning through intensive hands-on making. The studio is performative. The medium will be in hand work. Drawing will be done with graphite on paper. Drawing will be based in either Orthographic or Oblique graphical conventions and systems. The course is made up of two roughly equal sections of compositional exercise - Graphic Making, Formal Making, and Tectonic Making.” - Course Syllabus

The Timber Frame Construction was “an introduction to construction with a focus on material properties, fundamentals of assembly and related economic, logistic, and energy factors that inform decision making in the construction and maintenance of the built environment.

The objective of this course is for students to become familiar with materials used in construction and the fundamentals of construction assembly. The course will inform students of common construction materials such as soils, concrete, masonry, metals, wood, plastics, and glass. Through weekly lectures and lab exercises students will be exposed to the fundamentals of construction with an emphasis on material properties, assemblies and the economic, logistic and energy factors that influence decision making in the construction and maintenance of the built environment.” - Course Syllabus
