Lights of Fortune

Hyperboloid composition 

Manifesto

Light is an essential element to perceive architecture and to live and work in buildings. Creating a space with an Enlightened Rhythm of Natural Light with the composition of hyperbolic geometry, which is defined by the analysis of specific location data. It creates an opportunity to feel spirituality.

Location

Location: Singapore

Singapore is situated near the equator and has a typically tropical climate, with abundant rainfall, high and uniform temperatures, and high humidity all year round. Many of its climate variables, such as temperature and relative humidity, do not show large month-to-month variation.
