What could have swayed Capponi away from the plan for an oculus and toward the tall, narrow shape employed by Marcillat? |
The oculus window will complement two large stained glass windows that have been installed in the third-floor ceiling. |
This hidden Eden continues to baffle geologists with its oculus of volcanic stone. |
At the centre of the dome is an oculus, a circular hole, which is the only source of light. |
The light entering through the oculus at the top floods the space with hypnotic patterns of light and shadow. |
Either way, feeding a signal from a microphone placed in the oculus gives a real audio picture of the size of the space. |
