Exploration-4- Light diffusion and vegetation
Light within wood zone was aimed to be refracted at some parts
and diffused at others; this is to enhance the ‘forest-like experience’ of
the interior spaces. However, after configuring the refraction methods in
the previous explorations, it was decided that diffusion effect can be
achieved through utilising from vegetation characteristics and their ability
to scatter and filter sunlight. This approach suggests using thin metal or
wire meshes, attached on to the inner side of curtain walls (on the higher
parts), and housing the hanging vegetation. The vegetation in here will act
as light diffusing elements, with the ability to enhance the physical
connection with the greens as well.
Explorations 3 and 4 were then integrated into the planning of wood
zones.
