Dining Space: Studio East Dining
This is the dining space that I chose. It was built on a construction site using, or borrowing really, all the materials including the light fixtures. It was a 3 week long temporary restaurant and after it was taken apart all of the materials were given back or recycled. This space is really cool because obviously it is completely eco-friendly as a space.
The lighting in the space is notable because the walls are a translucent polyethylene which takes advantage of natural light in the daytime, and at night these really cool fixtures light the space. The fixtures are made of yellow construction lights with long yellow cords.

Social Space: Maxxi Art Museum designed by Zaha Hadid in Italy
This space is extremely sculptural and neutral at the same time. The concrete and glass materials create an understated palette which doesn't take away from what is inside. The amount of glass in the ceiling lets the space get illuminated with predominately natural light. There are also complex louvers and framework that allow manipulation.
Ritual Space: Parish of Helsinki by JKMM Architects
This church is designed to feel like "congregating in the woods" which I think is a beautiful idea. Nature and closeness to the land feels spiritual in itself. The space is made of numerous kinds of wood and it is full of very sharp, crisp lines. The windows that span to the floor further connect the outside with the inside.
