  Light To Improve Spaces

I wanted to explore the idea of having play of light as a form to improve
and enhance the spaces inside. By experimenting with the amount and
natural lighting as its source, it can be used to highlight and enhance the
architectural design, improving the aesthetics of the space ¹. This was
explored further from the models I made from the first showing how the
original room looked like with a simple opening for light to enter in, to the
last model with additions of windows, skylights and frames to allow different
amounts of light to enter in, improving different spaces for different functions,
proving that light can improve spaces.
