SHADOWNS LIGHTSIn the search for an innovative design to make the best possible use of daylight, this proposal was born that seeks to take advantage of the energy received by the sun in the best possible way. In our design idea we implement key concepts such as: bioluminescence, color theory and user interaction. These three conceptual pillars were implemented in a design that was capable of including them efficiently and that, in turn, could become an industrializable product.This innovative design seeks to adapt to the different spaces achieving an influence on people and taking advantage of natural light. It should be noted that it seeks to receive the perception of light in order to be shown to the space in which it is designated, reflecting the brightness and shadows that are obtained by creating an atmosphere in the most aesthetic and unified place, managing to be one more part of the decoration and the aesthetic unity with which this space is to be set.The shadow ligth seeks that people have a space of tranquility and creativity, so we can turn this space into a work of art, in addition this innovation inspires security by handling calm tones that allows to relax the muscular tension of people, thus achieving a creative place within the building.The objective of Shadowns Ligths focuses on people having a special place both in their residence or in a building, with the intention that people can have fun with the different movements transmitted by light and thus complement them with the play of shadows in the same space. It also seeks an outlet from everyday life which we call a fascinating place that interacts with the perception of people’s reality, taking into account that the project can be affordable for different people.The “Shadowns Ligths” is composed of four parts that make up the overall design: 1) The window, which consists of a metal profile that holds two glass panels of 5 millimeters each and which are sealed with silicone to waterproof the space that is created in the middle of both glasses. This space is 1 centimeter and in it is a liquid substance made up of water and a photoluminescent pigment called strontium aluminate. This substance endows water with the ability to absorb the energy emitted by the sun and release it in the form of light at night. 2) tank, the intention of this idea is to generate a permanent movement in the window, for this a deposit is used in the upper part in order to release in a controlled way the photoluminescent water as if it were a waterfall. 3) This tank is accompanied by a small motor that pumps the water from the bottom of the window to the tank again, through a pipe that connects both. 4) A shutdown system, we are aware that spaces need both light and the absence of it. In response to this need, a system is proposed by which the tank that releases the illuminated water is closed and with the pumping all the water is taken to the tank, so in case of needing a space without lighting, the Shadowns Ligths can adapt and respond to that need.A question arises, What shades of colors are ideal to set this type of space? According to color psychology, each shade has a different impact on how people react to seeing them. That is why, you should use tones that favor relaxation and tranquility that you want to transmit, that said, cold tones and tones derived from blue meet this requirement. It is this same principle of how colors affect the perception of space that generates being able to interact indirectly with the user, providing him with sensations and an environment that has the ability to provide peace and relaxation.Then, it becomes important that anyone can acquire this idea, so it was simplified so that it could be taken to an industrial production, with existing materials and technologies in order to provide an economic product and that is available to anyone who wants to make their spaces, a different place, full of meaning and meaning, places that open the way to a new architectural vision.Shadows Lights seeks to further promote the management of light as an art form within the building by playing with the acoustics produced by the clash of light and water, which forms organic figures. We want the façade not to be the only intriguing area. , we also want the interiors of the buildings to have that art, style and design, giving a new vision of interior design.5 mm thick glass sheetWater mixed with strontium aluminateWaterproofing siliconeAluminium profile Water pump of 250 lt/hTank to store the liquidShutdown system Controlled liquid outlet
