| dc.description.abstract | The thesis seeks to explore the different possibilities in the interaction between architectural experience and light in terms of its scientific properties. With an understanding of the complex nature of light, the goal is to focus on polarization as the main property to be studied. The thesis experiments on polarization reveal a new perception of “walls” in architecture - the perception of transparency, opaqueness and reflection is due to the orientation and layered relationship of the “walls”. This effect of polarization defines the program, form and site of the design proposal.This “polarized building” provides different kinds of space for people to have different interactions with the space and relationships with each other and with themselves. | |
