work
"Licht House - Light Center"

author's description

Daylight is an element completely independent of the designer, and yet, it is his main tool in shaping architectural thought. The relationship between light and material directly affects the perception of architectural form regardless of its source. Whether natural or artificial, its occurrence should be considered on a par with materials found in construction such as stone, brick, glass, wood, as perfectly described by Steen Eiler Rasmussen in his book titled. "Feeling Architecture." According to the Danish architect, "Light is of great importance in the feeling of architecture. The same room can give the impression of a completely different space depending on the size and location of its openings. Moving a window from the center of a wall to the side will completely change its character." It is not uncommon, when entering a given space, to create an emotional impression related precisely to the color and intensity of light, which the viewer is often unaware of. Licht Haus is a studio project of a building complex with exhibition interiors, aiming to show the emotional changes occurring in the viewer, depending on the interaction of daylight and/or artificial light. The complex envisions 6 zones: Light Center (A), Library (B), Immersion Room (C), Restaurant (D), Outdoor Patio (E), Underground Exhibition Hall (F), Observatory (G). The premise of the facility would eventually be integrated into the area of Szczytnicka Island in Wroclaw.


Jury's opinion

This is a unique space, the author enchanted by light let it play the first fiddle in a building maintained in a modern style. Licht House is a studio complex with exhibition spaces, which, with appropriately directed light performances, is supposed to show emotional changes occurring in the viewer. It was intended that the building would be integrated into the area of Szczytnicka Island in Wroclaw.
