    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    The INSTRUMENT is a modular outdoor test hut at PVA. Its purpose is to enable faculty and architecture students to do full-scale testing to assess building performance under realistic conditions with an overt interest in measuring and not simulating. The INSTRUMENT comprises two identical modules with test walls that can be removed to experiment with different sustainable building envelopes, shading devices, and other building components. A 360-degree automated turntable varies the orientation of the test huts modules which are equipped with over 200 sensors per module that record data.
