Our Favourites: Three artful orchestrations of daylight

Topics

Buildings

Outstanding architecture can change our everyday lives and open up new perspectives. Construction and material determine the architectural appearance. We have selected three extraordinary projects whose construction and appearance are characterised by the artistic use of daylight.

Text: Sophie Streibl

The skylight of a tiny house in Tokyo, the play of light in a chapel in Odenthal, Germany and a light room in Vorarlberg, Austria create impressive atmospheres.

Epicurean zest for life: Love2 House by Takeshi Hosaka Architects

Set in the right light: Chapel by gernot schulz : architektur

With the Christkönigskapelle, gernot schulz : architektur designed a small sacred building. It appears as a modern and gently interpreted room full of peace and spirituality. Made of concrete and wood, a design is created, which is dedicated to the play with light and its targeted orchestration.

Client: Erzbistum Köln / Generalvikariat
Architecture: gernot schulz : architektur
Location: Haus Altenberg, Altenberger-Dom-Straße 31, 51519 Odenthal (DE)

With James Turrell in the Alps

The new Skyspace by the American artist James Turrell is a convergence of space, light and time. Publicly accessible, the installation blends into western Austria’s mountainous landscape and suspends the limits of perception.
 

Architect: James Turrell / Baumschlager-Eberle
