Our
design SHAPES, FORMS and USES natural daylight. We propose a way of
working with light through a filter in constant movement and change to
create a dynamic architectural space. Our tool to shaping light is using
fresh clean water that is renewed with every tide of the ocean,
creating a new, safe place for families to swim next to the fierce
Pacific Ocean. When entering the space below ground level, light is all
around, moving in different shapes, at different speeds and intensities.
The water roof above is shaping the light below and humans are putting
that water into motion. They are directly responsible for the changes in
this space as daylight pours in from above. These forms of light seem
random but are actually precisely manipulated by the slightest movement
of the swimmers above. Their bodies seem to float in thin air, each of
their movements causing a chain reaction that forms the light around you
through the ripples in the water that they create. The ambient is
constantly changing with sudden build-ups of high energy to slowly and
gently calm into a relaxing space. Affecting all of the five senses we
possess, it is a place of simple reflection upon the affects the natural
world has on the way we live.
We
propose a memorial in this public space, to remember people that died
in tsunamis or that have been affected by them. The buildings ability to
shape light illuminates and gives life to the area below. Experimental
photographs of physical studies of light with controlled containers of
water conclude that an infinite amount of light patterns can be formed
and each of these can be reproduced to create a certain type of mood in
the environment of the memorial. This control over light looks to
manipulate the dynamic form of the interior of our proposal by the
movements and forms generated by light passing through water. A more
intense space has more movement, and less intense space has less
movement. The light is converted into the proposal itself.
