Starlight Ceiling

We create a three-dimensional surface composed of glass fiber to lit up a classroom without electricity and analyze the results using the software “HDRScope” by taking 10 different exposure pictures of the physical testing model.

The model is created by Grasshopper and labeled the length of each fiber automatically into AutoCAD to laser cut, and reduce the labor work of assembling the model.
