‘Lignum Penumbra’ is a project that celebrates the natural forces of light and shadow. The design is guided by the sun’s path, with openings carefully positioned to have skyview contact while also protecting areas with greater sunlight exposure. The use of wood as the primary material brings warmth and natural beauty to the space, while the interplay of light and shadow creates a dynamic atmosphere that changes throughout the day. IAAC students can spend time on the rooftop, enjoying the comfort of a temperature-controlled environment while connecting with nature and each other.
Lignum Penumbra is a space that invites gathering and encourages reflection, a place where the beauty and power of the natural world are harnessed to create experience.
