Undulating rows of skylight apertures respond to the sun’s seasonal and daily cycles to produce internal spaces whose character fluctuates in time. The office undergoes a phenomenological change in its environmental qualities and performance as light defines the space. The ceiling becomes an instrument to accommodate flexible programs that can vary over time, and celebrates the difference in seasons in the rural Connecticut site through a language of geometrical profiles that is meant to generate lighting effects similar to those found in nature. The north-south orientation of the skylights optimizes the effects of seasonal and daily changes in the quality, quantity and angle of sunlight as it enters into the building for natural lighting and passive environmental conditioning. read more

The skylight apertures are responsive to the geometries of the sun’s seasonal and daily cycles in a way that produces internal spaces that fluctuate in time. Architecture itself, does not physically move in space, however the bit of it reliant on light for the definition of its form may undergo phenomenological change both physically and performatively as a function of light. by Jerome Hord & Athony Morin read more

CIGNA headquarters x Velux 08′ midterm
The building’s form is developed from the articulation of different light qualities. Light that enters from a facade versus light that enters from a ceiling both have differing programmatic applications. Collaborative spaces, circulation, and anchor programs use direct light from perimeter conditions. Conversely, open office and private office spaces require diffuse light that is obtained from sky lighting. The ceiling section reacts to the transition from perimeter program to interior program by increasing in depth and turbulence towards the interior zones. The increasing ceiling depth also corollate with the increasing density of skylight application. by Jasmine Ho & Justin Snider read more
