LIGHT-BOX


DORMITORY FOR UNDERGRADUATES, PRATT


Concept – Architecture here is revolving around a basic concept of "filtration".

 

  • Filtration - to create public and private spaces,

  • Filtration -  to help the user circulate through the spaces and,

  • Filtration - to cast light and shadow throughout the spaces in order to create a comfortable and balanced experience for the students.

 

The concept emphasized making dormitories more communal than individualistic (home away from home) and this manifested by the idea of having a Light Box in every unit (3 stories) which fed light in every room and living space. 

 

The three-story units have corridors running on the second floor making it the accessible floor. The first and the third floor are accessed through the staircase in the living spaces
