Accelerated Odyssey: The impact of the Camera Obscura on perception, reflection, and environments and how contemplative design can respond to a thoughtful life.

Abstract

The camera obscura accelerated our ability to capture light, time, and environments. Through environmental analysis in material, light, and time, artistic examples throughout history have shaped the augmentation of the design. The result of this inquiry was a design that provides moments of reflection, pause, and contemplation in a formal spiritual space that dynamically changes over time.
