[2 plantrooms]Atmosphere reseach 2 - Light, shadow, colour

Light and shadow and colour are all very main part of presentation as it can be manipulated in many ways and by using those effects, different atmospheric feelings can be gathered which then affects the final impression.

Light and shadow and colour has been chosen to become another main road for our atmospheric researches as these three cannot really leave each other as where there is light there will always be shadows, and by manipulating the relationship between colour and light, different atmospheres will also be created by the amount of light or shadows that are casted onto a certain coloured object, or by covering light with a certain colour so that it sends colour beams onto a certain object or even a person. So, it will be fun to see what kind of interesting effects I could come up with.

There are different types of lights i could work with, one man-made light which can include colour and one that is natural light which will be moving around and having just that one colour unless i make the spaces of the plant rooms placed with a colour filter.

For the natural light which will be happening during the day, will be moving around so for the plant rooms, i want to make it so that in given space that we have, light will always be there no matter what time of the day it is. Which then means that my four walls will have to all have an opening for light to seep through. I will use man-made light for the night and probably see what kind of a feeling i could get with after deciding which will be the dystopia and utopia versions.

Other than the altering of colour, i found that depending on the direction, closeness and intensity of light, either sharp light beams or soft glows.

pictures above shows the sharp glows that will be created by altering the amount of light that is allowed to come in.

cloud that is illuminated by light, soft light can be shown around the cloud. The sunset where the light is really orange/yellow gives a warm and calm feeling.

Thin slits could also create a sharp light.


These artificial lights gives off different feelings, the very left, cold and a bit scary, while the right shows a warm, lighted feeling as this seems more close to the natural sunlight we get during the day.
