This project explored and rehearsed visual figurations through the additive color properties of light projection. Through the investigation of a series of volumes, planes, grid lines, and shapes: choreographed figures emerged through intensive characteristics of overlapping, offsetting juxtaposition, density, saturation, and transparency. This created an open and permeable field of conditions that create a tension and depth from the flatness of abstracted orthographic projection of form and light. This generated a cohesive assemblage that acted as a graphic language of three dimension understanding of light’s shadow. This graphic language became the bases of a parasitic design that forces relationships with a host building in Downtown Los Angeles and propose a space for a traditional and digital library. The juxtaposition of the traditional building, and new parasitic addition lays out the program while creating a divide between the labyrinth of a traditional library and the technology, and compact capabilities of a digital one, bringing them both together.
