A University represents a celebration of the congregation of cultures and backgrounds.
Boundaries dissolve allowing the free exchange of ideas and personal beliefs.

Piazza Navona, Rome
The earliest piazzas present themselves as a symbolic representation of this concept.
It provides a unique urban space that allows people to gather and exchange ideas.

A piazza’s function is constantly shifting from dawn to dusk.
No one moment is the same as the last.
It is dynamic.
UCSB Student Resource Building : Schematic Design Report

The proposed design will use light as a medium to not only provide a unique and dynamic
urban environment like the piazzas of old, but also seeks to redefine the way an
individual experiences their physical and visual environment.

The North East Plaza provides a convening point from rest of the
UCSB campus into the Student Resource Building. Combined with the
weather of Southern California, it is envisioned to provide a
comfortable outdoor environment for people to socialize.

It shall become a modern day interpretation of a piazza. Energy
efficient fixtures will be utilized to adhere to California’s Title 24
requirements.

The dynamic and transient nature of a piazza is analogous to water.
Water is formless, consistently shifting in shape and composition.

At the heart of the Student Resource Building is the Forum, an area
that will become a major pedestrian thoroughfare that connects the
adjacent neighborhood of Isla Vista and the rest of the UCSB campus.

The space serves a dual function: to facilitate movement as well as
providing a comfortable and visually pleasing environment for people
to socialize.
In response, the proposed design shall reinforce these two principles.

John Zwinck
The spatial relationship of the passerby and those who congregate
in the Forum can be likened to this photo.
The earlier is transient, the later is almost timeless.
Likewise, the lighting here shall be used in such a way as to
reinforce the dynamic nature of this space.

The movement of people through this
space shall be analogous to stones
skipping on water.
Therefore, specific surfaces shall be lit
with an additional layer of light to guide
people as they move from one end to
the other.

Lighting here shall not only reinforce
the architectural character of this
space, but also provide a visual
connection to the exterior of this
building.
The design here will adhere to the
energy requirements established in
California’s Title 24 and be sensitive to
the amount of daylight available.

From dawn to dusk, a piazza will constantly change as it adapts to the needs of different people throughout the day.
Likewise, the lighting design of the Multi-Purpose Room shall also be responsive to the different functions
that will take place there during its lifetime.

Light shall be used to accentuate
the architectural form of this space.
When the room is not in use,
perimeter lighting here and that of
the adjacent NE plaza shall change
color in sequence to provide a visual
connection between the two spaces.

Additional overhead lights will
also be available to cater for
conference type events.
Adjustable downlights will also be
provided to allow for additional
accent on vertical displays.
The design will observe Title 24
regulations and be responsive to
the amount of daylight available.

Besides general ambient
overhead illumination, lighting
here shall provide a comfortable
and relaxing environment.
Lights shall also be positioned
as to avoid glare on the task
plane.
Title 24 will be observed and
appropriate controls will be
utilized to ensure that the
system is responsive to the
amount of daylight available in
the space.
