Delight in Greener Daylight

27.04.2010 - 30.07.2010

The Elliot K. Wolk Gallery, MIT Building 7, Room 338, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, 7-231, Cambridge, MA, USA

Daylighting is inherent in architectural design and is one of the main drivers of a building's technical performance and its resulting human comfort and health. Students in the Fall 2009 Daylighting class taught by Marilyne Andersen, Associate Professor of Building Technology in the MIT Department of Architecture, worked in inter-disciplinary teams to analyze designated portions of the second floor extension to The Consulate of Switzerland/swissnex Boston building in Cambridge MA. With the aim of developing integrated solutions for fa?ades on every side of the building, they focused on issues of glare, illumination, overheating, the ensuing energy requirements and the visual interest of the spaces.

Directions:
Enter at 77 Massachusetts Avenue and go to the third floor, using the stairs at the left rear of the lobby or the adjacent elevator. Proceed toward the front of the building, then take a right. You will see the gallery on your right.

The gallery is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, 9AM - 5PM. For more information, call 617.258.9106.
