Lindsay Duddy: ‘A Space for Critical Thinking’ was designed to provide an environment in which knowledge could be freely exchanged. The formal characteristics of the design began with a study of light and shadow and the disruption of a light as it navigates through a system of physical barriers. The physical elements of the design attempted to utilize the light study through an almost literal appropriation. The generated interior spaces were then reexamined to facilitate dynamic relationships between the individual planes and the voids created in between.
