This group installation project followed a material study, in which we explored the effects of blow torching aluminum sheets. By heating the aluminum and puncturing holes in it, we achieved a golden brown array of colors. This allowed us to reflect the harsh natural light from above, and soften the light filtering through the canopy onto the first floor. The focus of the project was to be aesthetically pleasing as well as functional in the way it improved lighting conditions. We were paired with a team exploring plastic tubing, which provided excellent overall structural support for the Canopy surface.
The canopy filters both artificial and natural light from above
