Lightmodulator is a series of projects by architect Nick Rich which work with light and the phenomena of moments in time where light and the materials it lands on or passes through create magical transformations of space. His initial research has been to understand the sun’s movement and the changing quality of light it gives. Analysis of the sun’s movement can be found on his website portfolio ’sun studies’ and ‘daylight - information from the sky’.

Nick explains “I moved on to experimenting with light modulation through different media. The process of making the media; be it a grid, lense or refractor and observing the effects, puts you in direct contact with light in a similar why to making shadow puppets or playing with your shadow. It is this interaction between us and light which I find interesting and which I’m trying to build into my work.”
