From the architect. With this project we wanted to see what we could do amidst the functional constraints of a clinic.
Instead of keeping places normally used for movement such as an elevator shaft or stair wells closed, we wanted to open them up to collect light, using them as lightwells to maintain the lighting coming- in from above. As light travels downward through the lightwells, exterior bar- graph- like apertures- maintain lighting on the lower levels, and gradually decrease in number towards the upper levels.This- lighting design,using the building's positive-negative relationship between interior and exterior,makes- uniform lighting on each floor possible.
