Newman
While visiting Newman, I observed how light and color combine to create an aesthetically pleasing and peaceful place. Not only does it have many artificial light sources, which can be adjusted to fully lighten the space or be dimmed, but it has natural light sources as well. before the alter was placed in the center of the room with the pews surrounding it, it was at the front of the room with a skylight directly above it, placing emphasis on it and marking it as a sacred piece. The space was designed with a natural color scheme, consisting of mostly greens, and neutral colors. However it also consists of a few burgundy walls, opposite of green on the color wheel.
Singletary
Singletary is an excellent example of light and color intertwined. At the main entrance, there is not much color, and the color scheme of the brick and carpet is very plain. However, there are small artificial lights and very large windows which allow natural light to pour in. If you walk further into Singletary, you see a very large, polychromatic piece of art. There is a skylight above the focal point of this piece of art, placing even more emphasis on it and illuminating all the colors and patterns.
SAVS
I enjoyed visiting this building very much not only to see the inside, but the outside as well. The outside of this building looks much older than its very modern interior. While most of the interior is neutral colors, (mostly white), it also has unexpected pops of color in many parts of it. Not only were the bright sections of the wall contrasting with the rest of the white interior, but it also contained very modern, bright furniture. Along with the brights and white, there are many skylights throughout above the very modern fans. Along with this natural light, there is artificial light as well. This building is very harmonious in terms of light and color.
