Light, Dark, and All That's in Between Light, Dark, and all That’s in Between: Revisiting the Role of Light in Architecture by Elena Chernyshov A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2008 ©Elena Chernyshov 2008 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Natural light, aside from its functional roles, has little significance in many contemporary spaces. The decline of its earlier shared cultural values and lack of any other to replace these translates into an impoverishment of architecture’s deeper experience and significance. By evaluating the connections that exist between light and architecture, and, consequently, between light and man, a better comprehension can be attained of its present value and of its potential as a creative inspiration and as an agent of its expression. By tracing the relationship between light and architecture in Western culture, the forces that have shaped its significance are revealed. From agrarian cultures that connected closely to nature, to the anthropocentric modern era, the way light is treated in architecture has expressed the cultural relationship not only to the sun, to the light itself, but also to nature and to one’s own position within it. The understanding of this progression and the analysis of the contemporary episode of this narrative elucidates the current significance and approach to light in architecture. The profound focus on light by many individual architects and architectural writers acknowledges its importance in contemporary architecture, although its collective cultural significance remains uncertain. A broader conception of light’s significance and ways of integrating it more meaningfully with architecture can be derived from positioning three case studies as complementary to the contemporary episode of its story. These case studies – the tearoom of the Katsura Palace, Junichiro Tanizaki’s book In Praise of Shadows, and photographic series Colors of Shadow by Hiroshi Sugimoto – exhibit nuance and subtlety in consideration of light and shadows alike, illustrating a different approach and attitude to natural lighting. Light becomes more than an enriching physical phenomenon or agent of poetic evocation, it creates a deeper connection of man to his surroundings. Two designs – a house and a library – explore this connection and the potential of light to articulate dwelling. In these, the encounters with light and shadows are palpable and intrinsic to the architectural space fostering the ability to appreciate light and its attendant significance. iii Acknowledgements My sincere gratitude is to my supervisor Rick Andrighetti, committee members Andrew Levitt and John McMinn, and external thesis examiner David Lieberman for their insight, enthusiasm, and engagement in this work. Likewise, I am very grateful to Philip Beesley, who was instrumental to setting it on its course, for all his guidance, patience, and rigour. Many thanks are due to David and Sharon Johnston, Michelle Laing, Robert McNair, and Robert Jan van Pelt for their much appreciated contributions to this effort; and to Adrian Politano for invaluable help, generosity, and support. iv Contents Author’s Declaration ii Abstract iii Acknowledgements iv Illustrations vi Introduction 1 Discussing Light: Terms, Roles, and Limits 7 Part One 13 Sun Worship 14 Sacred Light 18 Modern Light 38 Part Two 81 Tea Ceremony and Tearoom: Shokin Tei 87 In Praise of Shadows 96 Colors of Shadow 101 Design Projects 111 Writer’s House 113 Library 159 Conclusion 211 Appendix 215 Bibliography 223 v Illustrations 1.

  • University of Nevada, Reno American Shinto Community of Practice
    University of Nevada, Reno American Shinto Community of Practice: Community formation outside original context A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology By Craig E. Rodrigue Jr. Dr. Erin E. Stiles/Thesis Advisor May, 2017 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by CRAIG E. RODRIGUE JR. Entitled American Shinto Community Of Practice: Community Formation Outside Original Context be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Erin E. Stiles, Advisor Jenanne K. Ferguson, Committee Member Meredith Oda, Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2017 i Abstract Shinto is a native Japanese religion with a history that goes back thousands of years. Because of its close ties to Japanese culture, and Shinto’s strong emphasis on place in its practice, it does not seem to be the kind of religion that would migrate to other areas of the world and convert new practitioners. However, not only are there examples of Shinto being practiced outside of Japan, the people doing the practice are not always of Japanese heritage. The Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America is one of the only fully functional Shinto shrines in the United States and is run by the first non-Japanese Shinto priest. This thesis looks at the community of practice that surrounds this American shrine and examines how membership is negotiated through action. There are three main practices that form the larger community: language use, rituals, and Aikido. Through participation in these activities members engage with an American Shinto community of practice.

  • On the Craft of Fiction—EL Doctorow at 80
    Interview Focus Interview VOLUME 29 | NUMBER 1 | FALL 2012 | $10.00 Deriving from the German weben—to weave—weber translates into the literal and figurative “weaver” of textiles and texts. Weber (the word is the same in singular and plural) are the artisans of textures and discourse, the artists of the beautiful fabricating the warp and weft of language into everchanging pattterns. Weber, the journal, understands itself as a tapestry of verbal and visual texts, a weave made from the threads of words and images. This issue of Weber - The Contemporary West spotlights three long-standing themes (and forms) of interest to many of our readers: fiction, water, and poetry. If our interviews, texts, and artwork, as always, speak for themselves, the observations below might serve as an appropriate opener for some of the deeper resonances that bind these contributions. THE NOVEL We live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind -- mass merchandising, advertising, politics conducted as a branch of advertising, the instant translation of science and technology into popular imagery, the increasing blurring and intermingling of identities within the realm of consumer goods, the preempting of any free or original imaginative response to experience by the television screen. We live inside an enormous novel. For the writer in particular it is less and less necessary for him to invent the fictional content of his novel. The fiction is already there. The writer’s task is to invent the reality. --- J. G. Ballard WATER Anything else you’re interested in is not going to happen if you can’t breathe the air and drink the water.

  • Night and Day Year 3 Earth and Space Sciences
    Fully aligned with theCurriculum Australian Night and day Year 3 Earth and space sciences About this unit Night and day What causes night and day? The rising of the Sun and the Moon are daily reminders of the awe and wonder, beauty and power of the universe. Studying the relationships between the Sun, Earth and Moon helps us understand how we experience day and night on Earth. It also helps us understand directions in terms of North, South, East and West, how time is based on the apparent movement of the Sun across the sky and how time can be determined using a sundial. The Night and day unit is an ideal way to link science with literacy in the classroom. Students explore the sizes, shapes, positions and movements of the Sun, Earth and Moon. They investigate how shadows change throughout the day and link these changes to the Sun’s apparent movement across the sky. Students role-play the movements of the Earth in relation to the Sun and Moon. Through investigations, they explain night and day in terms of the Earth spinning on its axis.

    I Can See 1 - Light and Shadows Topic: I Can See –Light and Shadows Time: 15 min Age group: 3 - 5 What you need • Kia Rapua I Can See Station • Acrylic panels • Chalks • Markers • Large sheets of paper • Different shapes (objects or cardboard shapes) What to do Set up • Set up the I Can See Station using the panel module • Have the Acrylic Panels in place Activity Ideally this activity should be done at two separate times during the day; in the morning and afternoon. Tell children that, they will be observing shadows outside to see how they change over the course of the day. Before you start is important to decide if you’ll have children use chalk to draw on the ground or if you’ll have them use crayons or markers on large sheets of paper spread on the ground. • Bring children outside to an open, sunny space around the I Can See Station • Break children into pairs. • One children will choose and object or shape to put against the acrylic panel • The other one will trace the shadow of it. • It is important to mark the exact point the object or shape was place. • Return to the spot in the afternoon and have the children switch places and place the object in the exact same position it was. • Have the child use a different colour to trace the new shadow The science • Outside, the shape, size, and position of a shadow change over the course of the day as the sun’s position changes, due to the earth movement.

  • Filled with Lavish Soundscapes, Epic Climaxes, Dramatic Builds, Intimate
    Filled with lavish soundscapes, epic climaxes, dramatic builds, intimate piano moments and inspiring orchestral arrangements, the timeless 12 track instrumental debut The Edge Of The Light by FLOATING IN SPACE is a masterful merging of both delicate and energetic sounds. The album, which tends to lean towards the dramatic side of cinematic songwriting, will undoubtedly appeal to fans of Deep Elm artists including Lights & Motion, U137, Carly Comando, Christoffer Franzen and Inward Oceans. Stream the album preview for The Edge Of The Light here: bit.ly/Dis-eotl “This album is a travel through time, space, distance and feelings. Through my songs, I try to show my vision of a world where light and shadows, calm and fears, solitude and togetherness meet in the vastness of space. There are two things that never cease to inspire me when I look through my window: the sea and the sky. I see all vital experiences, dreams and fears more clearly when taking a night walk along the coastline. Those walks inspire me to describe my feelings through music” says Caballero. He continues, “So I've created an album that I would want to listen to, as if my experiences and feelings were sequences of a movie with my music as the soundtrack. I strongly believed Deep Elm was the ideal record label for Floating In Space due to its superb catalog and their know-how and experience in the genre. It is of vital importance for me to work with people who share my passion for music and who pay attention to every small detail of a song, encouraging their growth and taking them to a whole new level.

This new current, linked by the phrase Keisho-ha 10 Sueharu Fukami 42 Niyoko Ikuta (School of Form), encompasses a movement of artists who, through the conscious selection of material and technique, create boldly innovative works that cannot be manifested by any other means.
