For my second transformation of the space, I chose to do a study of light and analyze how the obstruction of light or the entrance of light can alter a space. In order to do this, I used different types of materials to alter the light: slightly reflective freezer paper, paper towel, and matte tape. My purpose in using different materials as well as not completely obstructing all entrances into the space was to study the ways in which light is able to find a way in, despite its obstruction.
The obstruction of light completely altered the space. In order to get a more realistic look at what the inside of the space looked like with a ceiling and closed windows, I slid an iPhone into the openings within the space. The different types of materials made a huge difference in how the light entered the space. The freezer paper was the most translucent and allowed the most light in, albeit in a diffused way. The paper towel material allowed light in, but created a much dimmer light than the freezer paper. Lastly, the matte tape allowed very little amounts of light in, but created an interesting affect when pressed against the different types of paper. The inside of the scale model was completely transformed into a hazy, diffused space that had a magical feel to it - almost like a dream where hard edges are soften and right angles become bent.
