urban lighthouse

growing from a perception of crime in the area, this space reflects the light above down into the dirt and darkness of digbeth. allowing for a place of refuge, the design considers change, movement, and light in the landscape. adjustable tensile structures indicate a sanctuary within the changing world around it.


important to have drawing sets illustrating the structure and construction that relate to the experience of light and movement in the space.

interesting how the space changes tone and shading relative to the water level. how would the mirrors reflect? and the water? what are the lighting conditions in digbeth? overcast? sunny? night? how would the space differ? how would the water reflect differently?

how can you bring the project back to its origins within the representations and drawings? where is the grafitti? the crime? the light? please finish that model you have been talking about for so long now..



flickerings of light in the space. changing relative to water levels and radiating colors. how could these drawings become more experiential and communicative regarding your exact intentions for the space?

where is the graffiti, by the way?

its present, even on that exact site.






these last are the weakest of your images, simple views taken exactly from a model. each could|should be a drawing of its own, playing with light, graffiti, dirt and darkness. communicate the experience of the space you wish to provide.
