A STROLL THROUGH FITZROY

It’s far too easy to regularly spend time in a place without truly looking at it.

On the way to the office one morning, I took a couple of hours to explore the route that I so often see through the tram window.

It revealed to me many moments of hidden life, texture and detail.

I love this image as it suggests that light is something you want to touch. 
Like nature, architecture reveals the shape of light, its subtlety and its intrinsic beauty. 
We move towards the light but we need to shelter from its harmful effects. 
Too much light can damage our skin and too little can have negative effects. 
Like a giant light shade the role of architecture is to temper and harness its energy. 
It is universal and it is abundant.
It connects people to the time of day, season and patterns of weather. 
It is a way to connect people to their environment and create a sense of place. 
I can think of nothing better than to make buildings better respond to daylight.
And find ways to shape space, material and form around the changing character of the day.

For me, this song to describes an urban experience as though you are there at the scene.

It feels eerily familiar.

Light Cycle Entry by Melonie Bayl-Smith Architect Liquid ARCHITECTURE
FILTER is an exploration of the constraints of the modern-day design desire to flat-pack – creating a product that is sustainable and economically efficient. Through the integration of product and packaging, the design enables the filtering out of the excess that is often associated with consumables. 
Waste is reduced in production through advanced modelling techniques, while an adhesive free construction means minimal assembly and maximum flexibility for the end user. The flexibility of this product enables manual dimming of the light and a myriad of options for placement within an ambient space. 
Filter is a holistic light fitting, where product and packaging come together to pack, form and market a product.
