Abstract Details

2004, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
The visual and psychological impact of architectural space can be perceptually altered through the integration of artificial (electric) lighting within the built environment. Artificial light has had a tremendous impact on the way in which architecture has been redefined and expressed. Its ability to define, manipulate, distort and create architectural space is the focus of this thesis. This thesis will demonstrate how artificial light - through its ethereal quality - has visually and psychologically affected the tangible qualities of architectural form. Specifically, the objective is to design a Community Action Resource Center on the south lawn of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, which works in conjunction with the Freedom Center and its values. By manipulating artificial light, the hope is to generate a design that becomes a literal and symbolic beacon as the Action Resource Center for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the overall Greater Cincinnati community.
