Art, Architecture, and Engineering Library (AAEL)
Wednesday January 28, 12-1pm, Duderstadt Center 2nd Floor
Catie Newell, professor of architecture at Taubman College and founding principal of Alibi Studio, will speak about her work exploring the illuminative qualities of glass through form, color, and transparency demonstrated through site-specific works and material research.
Newell’s recent work investigates glass as a building unit that both transforms and modulates light. Light Forms are cast-glass modules designed to function architecturally—allowing light to pass through and aggregate into various tessellations that create spaces with distinct textures and optical qualities.
You can experience Light Forms in person in “Inhabiting Light” at Magnolia Glade in Nichols Arboretum.
