Portable Light - wonderful!

While on this topic of light and material, you must look at the work of Sheila Kennedy

I mentioned her work developing luminous plywood. Most recently she is working on a delightful social project called “portable light” which brings light to communities without electrical power and which suggest many other applications in our future. The work uses traditional weaving techniques with new light materials. You can see this work at http://www.caup.umich.edu/portablelight/

I was amazed at the resemblance of the community power bag (if you change the scale) to Toni’s resting airport pods.

You must all look at other Kennedy & Violich Architecture projects at http://www.kvarch.net/
