Abstract

Daylight is central to how we experience architecture, influencing well-being, aesthetics, and sustainability. The Poetic Daylight pavilion explores three light types: skylight, direct sunlight, and reflected light, each shaping unique spatial atmospheres. Visitors move through contrasting spaces—from calm, diffused light to dynamic shadows and ever-changing reflections filtered through nature.
The project demonstrates how thoughtful daylight design can enhance sensory experience, support well-being, and reduce energy use.
