Architectural Light Systems
Therpaeutic Light
Portland, Ross island
Water, light, and air aren’t just elements; they’re the rhythms of life, as essential as a heartbeat. Every
living creature, including us, depends on these core elements to survive and thrive. Light, in particular,
holds an almost magical quality. It guides us, showing where to find nutrition, pointing us toward
safety, and inspiring our paths. My draw towards the metaphysics of light is about diving deep into
understanding it not just as a concept but as a tangible medium I can touch, shape, and control. After
considering these concepts, my idea to establish a bathhouse on Ross Island in Portland emerged
as an escape. Ross Islands’ beauty and serene environment provide a perfect scene for this project
to coexist within the heart of the city. It’s a place where light, water, and air harmonize to create a
setting that allows users to feel facilitative, relaxed, and renewed. The bathhouse is about cleansing
the body and serving as a sanctuary where the interplay of light, water, and air promotes healing and
connection with life’s natural flow. This project explores Spaces like the bathhouse on Ross Island, which have
the potential to offer healing and calmness, allowing users to reconnect with the basic rhythms of life.
