Light and Water Precedents

Hi! This is my very first blog posting :)

I'm doing my thesis on the effects of natural elements such as daylight, artificial light, and water associated to architectural spaces and materials. The integration thereof, suggests a peaceful oasis, and a restful place especially in dense urban cities. I'm proposing contemplative spaces in the city to provide "pockets of relief" for weary, overburdened, and busy individuals, available as a public amenity. These spaces require an established system that can be controled and outsourced to other locations if necessary to produce a desired light and water featured moment as a type of atmospheric weather to amalgamate or possibly merge the two different natural forces to create a new environment.

My precedent studies are both artists and architects.
