About my role on this project:
Specialty Lighting Analysis - Managed a detailed lighting and visualization study for the theater environments, combining technical analysis, material capture, and immersive VR to help the design team evaluate color, spatial experience, and operational performance before construction. • Produced quantitative and qualitative analysis of color reflection and lighting performance for the 300-seat and 1,000-seat Theaters. • Benchmarked lighting conditions across four existing theaters to establish performance references • Developed a total reality capture workflow to 3D scan fabrics and finishes for highly accurate digital rendering • Built a full-scale VR walkthrough of the theaters to evaluate scale, curvature, audience sequence, and spatial perception before construction • Advised the architects and owner on balancing design intent with technical requirements, logistics, circulation, and support space constraints ------------------------------------------------------------------ Data Stack: BIM | 3D Photogrammetry | HDR Photography | Illuminance/Luminance Map | Spectral Light | Colorimetry | VRScan (Materiality) | VR
