03/03/19, Sunday @ 11:35AM Chelsea Market, Manhattan, NY From the color, the form, the light that is cast, it is clear that there are over 3 different types of light sources from this point of view. On the right, the warm light is coming from the timeless incandescent bulbs. In the middle of the roof […]

Subtraction Wk 6: CNC Final
See final with all the interaction and light fixture in the light blog. For my second attempt at joinery, I needed to redesign the dimensions so that the joints fit well. This took 3 separate attempts to get right! 1.) First attempt using new dimensions of just a rabbet joint. b.) The CNC worked well enough […]
Light Wk 5: Sconce (wip)
I’ve decided to execute the key sconce idea! This also includes finalizing the interaction: a.) if key is on handle: turn light on play tune on speaker animate light brightness to match with tune b.) if key is not on handle: turn light off c.) if key is on handle, but room is dark: dim […]
Light Wk 5: Observation
Monday, 3/04/19, 4:30 PM – 6:30PM Brooklyn, New York The window faces north. When the sun is still up, the gradation in the sky color and the moving clouds are obvious despite the translucent curtains. Through the curtains, you can roughly see that the sun must be reflecting on a building (located on the […]
Light Wk 4: Observations
Monday, 2/25/19, 12:54 PM Barnes & Noble 3rd Floor, New York This Barnes & Noble faces south. On a sunny day, the light casts highlights on the sides of the cafe goers faces. The placement of the window decides who receives the sunlight and who doesn’t. With this bright sunlight, I wonder why the lamps […]
Light Wk 4: Sconce (wip)
Another Possible Project Idea: Possible Project Idea (still not sure): A pair of sconces that turn on when there is a key placed on the handle and turns off when there is not. Potential ideas for dimming: when person is closer to the fixture, the light dims. when person is further from the fixture, the […]
Light Wk 3: Time-Lapse Observation
Tuesday, 02/19/19, 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM NYU on Broadway This is the view from the 10th floor of a NYU building. The building faces south, so the window is showing the sun move from east to west. Because this was recorded when the sun has already risen, the change in the color of […]
Light Wk 3: Light Shops!
The past Monday I went on a delightful stroll to Kenmore & Bowery, the street where all the light shops live apparently. One my trip, I tried to examine how the light fixtures were made and what materials were used. There were many shops to visit, so I will try to list them out in […]
Light Wk 2: Observations
Early Morning Exterior: Sunday, 02/10/19, 10:41 AM Midwood, Brookyln This is not that early morning and almost noon time as the shadows indicates. The shadows are slanted at around 4pm/ 5pm on a clock, which makes a lot of sense since this was taken near 11am morning. They are also crisp and create dark, cool […]
