Light minimal

Method

Four movements, in the same order every time

The sequence is fixed; only the depth of each stage changes with the project.

  1. Read the place

    We walk the site, photograph the light at three times of day and talk to the people who will use the building.

    Week 1

  2. Draw the idea

    One clear parti, tested in plan and section, presented as drawings rather than renderings so the decisions stay visible.

    Weeks 2–3

  3. Resolve the detail

    Materials chosen for what the region can supply and maintain, with the junctions drawn at the scale the mason will actually work from.

    Weeks 4–8

  4. Follow the work

    Weekly visits, a written report and the authority to correct what drifts before it is buried in concrete.

    On site

  5. Return once a year

    A visit twelve months after handover to see how the building is ageing and what we would change next time.

    After

Dark glow
