Posted on January 19, 2018

3 RGB color and ambient light sensors that detect the incoming light from one point in the sky is placed on top of the building, timed to work one at the time. A light emitting wall is translating the incoming data into temporally adjusting colors and brightnesses. During the day the data runs in real time and during the dark hours from the saved data of each day.

It is located inside a auditorium volume that is enveloped with semitransparent glass and is situated above the main entrance of the hospital.
