Contemporising religious architecture
February 16th, 2010
Guest author: Isha Anand
Daylight can be very informative in the generation of architectural form and has been a celebrated tool in highlighting cultural, contextual and experiential regard in architectural design. Exploring this concept, the dissertation assesses and re-interprets spatial, sensorial and form-giving characteristics using religious buildings as a forum.
The project explores the effects created through daylight in three iconic religious buildings; Notre Dame du Haut, The Church of Light and the Bagsvaerd Kirke; the daylighting effects created in these buildings are identified, evaluated and analyzed. Then an attempt is made to recreate and integrate them in built programme though the development of new tools.
