Constructing Experience through Atmosphere, Light and Color: Brew HUE, a Sensorial Progression

This thesis explores constructed experience through atmosphere, light and color. Research conducted includes a technical understanding of light and color perception, along with translucency and transparency as a method of veiling. A greenhouse, the selected site for this project, provides the stage for a sensorial progression highlighting mood and materiality. Inspired by Holi, brew HUE serves explosion of color, meditation on light, and quality seasonal micro-brews. An included sit down restaurant highlights the practicality of the greenhouse, encouraging patrons to dine among the hops used to brew their beer, which has been paired with seasonal cuisine.
