For the past couple of weeks my work towards this project has been at a stand-still however, Alvaro Siza has been an inspiration to me over the last few days and his work has influenced the way I want to use light in my hermitage.
This afternoon (with help from one of the masters students) I produced my own 'study of light'. I took two pieces of cardboard and positioned them in various ways so as to capture the light and shadows created. I will now take this information and use it to strategically place openings in my hermitage. These openings will predominantly provide light in my hermitage.
