Hello,
Currently studying the possibilities of redirecting sunlight on a North Facade.
First, does anyone knows the name of a Contemporary arts Museum in Barcelona, there is a courtyard with an angled facade where you can actually see a reflection of the sea and the rooftops from the bottom of the courtyard.
list this under Accidental & irritating.........the Disney Concert Hall in LA had issues with glare blinding neighboring high rises (residential ones i think). Areas of the metal cladding were touched up to make the neighbors lives more liveable.
yeah...that's the risk.
Interesting subject...Gehry's and Libeskind's project are interesting as well for their sometimes ''residual dead spaces''...where spending too much time in there can send you to psychic rehab!
I want to direct light from a South facade towards a northern located terrace...
Think I will propose a curtain wall fitted with small lenses,mirrors. Mirrorbal concept.

So far I found Elio Sat
http://www.egis.org/Helio_us.html, great concept...but so far nice photoshops!
Wondering as well about the risks of Glare.
Any thoughts?
the CCCB
also check out some behnisch projects, eg NordLB in Hannover,
and in the US the Genzyme Building redirects light into the atrium..
