  8. At 3pm, 14 May after the clouds cleared and light became sharper Photo taken at 3pm, 14 May as the clouds were moving Inspired by Le Corbusier’s Chapel in Ronchamp, South of France, our model explores the change in mood by the use of prism shaped windows. The openings slant towards their centres at varying angles, letting light in at different angles and reflecting off the whitewashed concrete walls. The model faces north west, all taken in good weather. The first series of daylight photographs of the model, from April 24 through to May 14th shows the change in atmosphere through the use of natural day lighting. At 9am, the sunlight doesn’t reach the position of the model and was dispersing light into the space washing the floor and the walls. No direct sunlight was reaching the space until 12pm, when it started to have strip of light penetrating into the sides of the opening. During 1pm to 4pm, the light changes more dramatically. The light penetrating through the extrusions is elongated into the space, creating linear strips. As the sun reaches the opening, it lights up the different sides of the void in different levels, giving more depth and dimension to the opening shape. All the photos were taken in fine weather, with strong sun light thus achieving crisp contrast between the illuminated area and the shaded area. The two pictures above were taken to give comparison of the interior atmosphere on a cloudy day. The light dapples into the space, subsiding patches of light and creating underwater like ambience. For further experimentation, we have decided to change the colour of the windows inspired by the stained glass of the original Ronchamp Chapel. The addition of the coloured panels series documented on May 18th, first of all, changes the colour of the light but it also starts to change the form of the window spaces. The coloured panels then change the mood of the lighting within the space. As the model is white in colour the coloured light reflects off the panels intensifying the colour of the light and sharpening the contrast of the shadows. The effect is also increased as the day progresses and the afternoon light becomes warmer. The addition of the coloured windows does not just change the colour of the light; it changes the nature of the space through an increase in warmth and contrast.
