Sherrerd Hall stands on the edge of a quadrangle bordered by several other modernist buildings, including the Friend Center for Engineering Education and Mudd Manuscript Library. “It has an ethereal quality that connects it to its environment,” said Fred Fisher, principal of Frederick Fisher and Partners, the award-winning Los Angeles firm that designed the building. “Glass reflects the environment and opens a building to the world. It connects what goes on inside the building to the campus and community outside.”

As the photographer I felt the need to relay how this glass structure interacts with its surroundings.  It not only reflects the sky but  the other buildings, trees and even students that surround it.   Having students in these images gives the viewer a sense of scale and purpose of the building.  I took great care in getting the students in the right location.  They also add that “moment in time” element that is often missing in architectural photographs.

You first see the “modern box” design punctuated with metal framed windows and mahogany accents; then you realize the outer sheathing is a New England classic. Shingles.  They’ve been stained yellow to compliment the woodsy site.

“Conceptualized as a solid box, which opens to the light through a series of volumetric cuts, the materials reflect the operations that create the house’s surfaces.”

The idea was not to just capture the space, but give a sense of the natural light feeling.
