Light + Color
The building I chose from the power point is
Sainte-Chapelle. It was founded by King Louis IX of France, who constructed it as a chapel for the royal
palace and to house precious relics. I found the interior of this sacred
structure to be one of the most accurate representations of light and color in
harmony. This structure contains 6,458 square feet of bright,
polychromatic stained glass windows which also illustrate
1,1300 figures from the bible. The glass
allows natural light from the outside to shine within the space but is
also illuminated by artificial light. Overall the light enhances the color of
the glass and creates a very unified and aesthetically pleasing space, giving
it the feel of a sacred place as well.
