2. Light de?nes space. And architecture lighting is an art that entails the masterly, correct, as well as magni?cent consolidation of masses in form of light. The human eye is attracted by light. Simple design additions can enhance the effectiveness of any building, turning it into a happier, healthier, & productive environment. Architectural Lighting & Daylight The largest impact on lighting & design is derived from the buildings’ architectural orientation and massing. Other key players include ceiling height plus the section pro?les, which in?uence the availability of daylight in any building. Naturally, a south facing orientation, slender ?oor plates, raised ceilings, in addition to open divisions tend to allow more usable light into a building, thus correspondingly reducing the amount of electric lighting used. That’s why you should bring lighting designers onto any architectural project team early enough to bring an impact on the massing decisions. Illuminating the Actual Building Architecture

3. Architectural lighting is meant to illuminate your room’s actual architecture, including walls and ceilings. It’s meant to create a balanced, indirect, lighting environment that enlivens a room’s architecture. Exciting interiors, such as brick /stone veneers can go a long way in enhancing your home’s architectural lighting features. Architectural Lighting: The Importance Lighting can help inject more value into any architectural building. It plays a key role in the overall architecture of any building. Whether you light your building and structure naturally or arti?cially, you should endeavor to do it right—-since lighting allows people to see and appreciate your buildings’ beauty. Lighting also brings an emotional value of architecture to any building. From those occupying the building to the visitors, the right architectural lighting will let your building sparkle with class and elegance. Whether yours is daytime or arti?cial lighting, the right design can draw attention to your textures, space, and colors, helping your lighting scheme achieve its purpose. Think Aesthetics, Function, and Ef?ciency To achieve a successful lighting-architecture balance, it’s vital to take into consideration: Aesthetics Function Ef?ciency

4. Aesthetics With aesthetics, designers tend to focus on the impact of emotional balance (i.e. the lighting- architecture balance). It helps people feel different when they’re in and out of the building. Ideal for retail locations; this exterior lighting aspect will help draw attention and create an everlasting impact. Function Function is another vital aspect that shouldn’t be overlooked. As much as you’ll want the light to look in a certain way, you should also ensure that it serves the purpose – to help people see. Illuminate spaces to guarantee the safety of the occupants who navigate through the building. Ef?ciency Ef?ciency is another key aspect architectures and interior designers should seriously consider. Create a breathtaking light layout that’s incredibly energy-ef?cient. And the easiest way to go about this is by installing the LEDs as opposed to ?uorescent lighting—since LEDs are far much more energy ef?cient than other lighting sources. The Three Elemental Types of Light Invest in these three “elemental types of light”. They are the heartbeat of any modern lighting design. 1. Focal glow – Also known as task lighting, focal glow points out vital elements and help draw attention to spaces. They are directive in nature, creating brighter centers. Bonus, they can effectively highlight the important element. 2. Ambient luminescence – Also referred to as general/ambient lighting, ambient luminescence is the background lighting, which

5. illuminates the entire space. Mostly, it should be uniform. Moreover, it shouldn’t cast shadows. 3. Play of brilliants – Play of brilliant (accent lighting) is a dynamic & colorful architectural lighting that aims at stimulating people as well as their emotions. It excites peoples’ optic nerves, which helps stimulate their body and spirit. This awakens the curiosity and sharpens the wit.
