Exploded Axonometric demonstrating structural

elements and spatial hierarchy, along with observing details,

such as Aalto’s Butterfly Truss.


3 OPERATIONS

The operation is based on the behaviour of light on the interior of the Council Chamber Hall , located at the tower of the Town Hall. The light was measured with the model based on the geo- location of the tower itself. Once the rays of light, which entered the building through the small windows, create a shadow, they were traced and converted into volumes, which would later on pierce through the walls of the main tower. The various diagrams depict the rays of light inside the building, the intersection space where two or more light rays meet, and the mass of the tower with the holes the light creates.
