Site survey
Ground floor: The wall is bigger than the second floor but the approach to the space behind the wall is narrower and harder to access.
Second floor: The wall is smaller and the way to attach the installation behind the wall is going to be too dangerous. But it has the rhythm of the surrounding space.
First decision

Photograph of glass block: Checking how much we can see through the glass block
Glass Block
Glass block have a partial vacuum at the hollow center.
It provides visual obscuration while admitting light.
Percentage of glass block: Translucent part 96.875%
Percentage of mortar: Opaque part 3.125%
Different states of glass block wall
Research on the color theory
Movement of the participants due to position of the light (Prediction)
Second decision (Final decision)
At the other side of glass block wall
Experiment the light at second floor since its easier to control the light than at ground floor
Making the circuit
Light testing
Establish the circuit and switch
Testing the installation

Decision-making process is very clear although projects don't necessarily need to be explained in a chronological way always.
ReplyDeleteI strongly appreciate the material experimentation, I hope you get to that level of detail in your project since that will give you a high level of control in designing an experience.
