Assignment III - The Luminaire

Creating a formal, elegant, changeable and evocative luminaire became the intent behind assignment three. Holes were punched in the main surface, and protruding rectangles were inserted into each void.
The rectangles became transparent vessels through which the light from behind can light the space in front of, and to any side of the protrusions.
Finally, the protruding retangles are representative of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's work, using orthogonal and at time seemingly 'deadly' shapes, however they elicit an organic feel.

I can see some interesting parallels with your precedent study and your renderings. You chose to take the square holes of the study and then extrude boxes through them. The holes I can see as the upper portion of your precedent, and the boxes as the rectangles at the lower portion of your precedent. The perspective views of your renderings then capture the angular form of the rectangles in the upper portion of your precedent. Seemingly simple but interesting results.
