Studies in Conical Form

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The design of a conical room for experiencing a fleeting moment was developed through a series of demonstrative studies. The desired effect of a momentary appearance of a ray of light striking a reflective surface in a room based on the predicted relative position of the sun at set times determined the form, shape, proportions, and surface conditions of the room.
