•Week 4- Idea

My study attempts to reveal time-based relationships between human’s visual perception and architecture.
Anatomy of human visual system is changeable considering different factors such as human psychology, culture, and environment.
I will use dark and light surfaces’ perspectives from multiple angles as my presentation technique.
There is an obscurity problem in Air Street such that other streets and darkness alter people’s perception in this street. However, it can be solved with light and dark surfaces. The effects of light can change in accordance with weather conditions, seasons and time on a day. It affects scale of human, scale of building, longevity of street, wideness of street. Therefore through light, a space can be created in geometric projection of Air Street.
I tried to show Lavender Hill in section. There is an obvious difference between the different parts of Lavender Hill. Bottom of Lavender Hill is quieter than middle of Lavender Hill. Meanwhile, North wing of street is more safety than in South wing.
