Skylight

Working on a project in the design development phase, I helped to further the design of a skylight feature that was situated at the heart of a large scale renovation project. The skylight, a composition of conical glass reinforced gypsum (gfrg) components, needed to accommodate both existing structure, and an existing rooftop terrace with two different finished datums. The geometry, a morph between a regular rectangular module, and circular skylight lens, would need to accommodate the preexisting conditions, while also allowing for formal variety that could allow for light to enter at multiple times of day. The resulting composition, both accommodated the existing conditions, and allowed for a family of four distinct conical geometries to be arranged within the skylight grid, requiring only four different molds.
