The relationship between space and light has always been essential for an architectural project. The space lives of light and light lives in space. This inevitable relationship fulfill any architectural space as well as its own experience.
Light is one of the most important factor when it comes to define form, scale, color and ambience in architecture. Depending on how it is used, it can completely transform the spatial quality of a particular place, making it more or less comfortable, dramatic or dynamic, it can even change his scale.
The passing of light throughout a space is something that occurs over a determined period of time, it can last for minutes or hours, this smooth light movement creates unique and gorgeous designs. Unfortunately we cannot perceived them in real time since the speed of the Man is not compatible with the speed of Nature.
The desire to record this light movement through architectural space in a speed that humans can perceive, led to the research and development of a proprietary time-lapse technique and apply it to architecture. We call it Archilapse. When combined with traditional animation principles, it can reveal light and his slow interaction with space releasing all its emotions.
The Fragrante House, a project developed by RA Design Studio, explores the fantastic Lisbon light through innovative solutions such as the use of skylights overhead which provide the design of magnificent shapes of light and shadow all across the building.
The Archilapse technique show through this architectural project, how to emphasize the space/light relationship, revealing itself as a innovatively way of recording architecture on film.
