Charles Correa

I happened to look at this book in the library. Many interesting projects related to the studio.

parametric Ceiling_roof system




Ceiling panels mimic daylight conditions when sun penetrates the top surfaces of the trees creating limited sunlight. these panels would cast different shadows and refractions limiting the amount required sunlight in all galleries.
For the purpose of the parametric class , the renders show all glass above the panels to cast the majority of the shadows, but eventually there will be just a few locations where there is glass above allowing people from the top surface of the plaza to see inside through those panels as well as allowing sunlight in.
Some of the planes of the panels would continue their way up through the roof and then running horizontally about 2' of the ground forming benches for people to sit and enjoy the plaza.

Plato's Cave


In regards to the cave conversation, I forgot to mention yesterday how I see this integrating into the project. We have been talking about the reflections a lot, but I also see the possibility of shadow projections into each of the spaces. Seeing the shadows in the cave breeds curiosity, and as you exit the cave you are enlightened. This can be compared to the relationship of the religions and how they view each other, thus creating the universal "enlightened" space at the top.

The section is still rough but I drew lines to show where I mean this could happen in one instance.

Please plan to be present - Monday 3/14 - 4-5pm in Cafeteria
