Structures as Light
Wei Yan
| Structure is the giver of light. When I choose an order of structure that calls for column alongside of column, it presents a rhythm of no light, light, no light, light, no light, light. A vault, a dome, is also a choice of a character of light. (Louis Kahn, Between Silence and Light, p.34) |

The purpose of this work is to explore the relation between space, form and light (´natural´ and ´artificial´) using a light simulation program, Radiance. Concentrate on a building's interior space and use a solid modeling program to design the interior space. Concentrate on the relation between conceptual and phenomenological dimensions of architectural space. The change and movement of lights inside the space are also the main topics of the work. |

Virtual Realty Modeling
Language (VRML) is used to present the change and movement of light in
the space.
The interface is built to let users interactively control the color and intensity of the lights at real time while the view point is moving in the space. The interface is programmed with VRMLScript. This is my third VRML work. I began to get deep into it. |
