Purpose of the residency

In this programme, I will conduct research on light and architecture in Finland and create spatial works that incorporate the local natural environment. Finland is a country to play with the power of the sun. and it has produced architecture that has skilfully dealt with the sun and the famous architects who have designed it. I want to feel and use measuring instruments to investigate how light is introduced into architecture and how it relates to space and the natural environment.Finally, I will create a spatial work based on each of these researches.
