The more I read the brief what distinctively emerges is a need to design spaces that express the phenomenal qualities of the painting through architectonics- specifically the focus on lighting qualities that are defined and sensitively examined through the main feature of windows in Hopper's paintings. As well as add to this by generating exaggerated and transcendent spaces. With this in mind I've been particularly attracted to and inspired by the work of Steve Holl and his unique technique of generating poches that explore the influence of light and its integral presence in the interplay of the forms of the spaces. He manipulates the geometries of the spaces very deliberately to allow openings, which filter in light, to add a distinctive quality to the space- so the two are integrated to create the unique experience of the space.
