Nicole Kuepper :
"Electricity can make such a difference in people's live, they can read at night ... you can listen to the radio and be informed about what's happening in your country, listen to educational program...it's just the amount of things we take for granted in today's society that some people don't have access to."

The above image, "The Disconnected Shadow" illustrate the significance of shadows and its effect on the design of a building. Shadows allow the building to transform itself throughout the day. The way we perceive light and therefore interpret the structure is heavily influenced by the shadows of the structure. The dark and light patches created from the shadows gives the structure greater emphasise and meaning. In essence it gives the building life as the building is not stagnated with just one form or view. To me shadows play a very important role in architectural design and this is what i want to achieve in my models.
