This thesis studies the use of stained glass as a building material and how it can enhance the visual presence of light, materiality and space in a building interior.
Lighting, color, and texture were integral paths of study which culminated in a stained glass installation at the concrete Cube at the Research + Design Facility in Blacksburg, Virginia.
The resulting space becomes a room that reveals a dimension of architectural space not rarely studied or thought about when designing, revealing the way light continually shapes and defines a space throughout the seasons and time of day. The goal of the installation is to highlight ordinary conditions of light and space in a new light through color intervention of the interior. / Master of Architecture
