Blog #5: The Yurt

I have class every Tuesday/Thursday in the Yurt. It is always a relaxing and nice space to meet in. As I was sitting in class, I wondered why I always loved meeting in the space so much. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that lighting was a large reason that the room has such an inviting atmosphere. The whole room is lit naturally, though there are practical lights installed, they only need to be turned on at night. The room has windows evenly dispersed on the many walls of the space. The roof also features a skylight that brings in light from above. This all allows for an the light to be evenly dispersed of light, while keeping the source from from wherever the sun shines directly through select windows. The room also is a little dusty and the air is filled with particles that catch the beams of light beautifully. All of the aspects of light in this room create a relaxing atmosphere to act in and meet for class each week.
