Light Machine

Justin Lee talks about his experience in the workshop of the renowned architect Renzo Piano and his interest in conscious design using the sun's light as its main focus. He explains the steps of analyzing the requirements of adapting daylight in the construction of structures like museums. Along his narrative he expounds the necessary knowledge for retrofitting and creating the fabrication details for using light to its maximum potential. Flexibility in structure and programming, testing the various materials to achieve the maximum effect, scanning and reflecting on every detail, all of these elements are of vital importance in creating a solar structure. Lee explains the strong potential of light in creating and shaping space in buildings and hopes to inspire future architects to take into account the power of the sun.
