Pneumatic Light Sculpture

VISUALIZATION 
Light shaft of numerous sculpture system;
PROCESS WORK: STUDY MODEL
Analysis of light refraction through stacked layers of variable length translucent straws;
 
PROCESS WORK: STUDY MODEL
Analysis of light distortion through multiple layers of shattered glass;

restrictive parameters are set using a pneumatic cylinder system (as the piston extends, sail members compress; as the piston contracts, sail members expand)
ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRATION
+ MECHANICAL DESIGN
ANIMATION
