emphasize the building’s aesthetic.
Architectural lighting is the intersection of art (architecture) and technology (lighting). Other fields of endeavor also come into play, such as physics, engineering and the psychological and physiological effects of light.
Architectural lighting is illumination for building design and function. The term can be synonymous with lighting design. Architectural lighting’s focus is with the building’s exterior or interior aesthetic or character. The latter’s consideration is ergonomic or functional - any aspect which improves one’s ability to live, work, function, relax or play - to make sure light is optimally used and distributed.
Why Architectural Lighting Matters
Architecture is an expression of values. - Norman Foster
Alcon Lighting asked architect Molly Munson of Adam Wheeler Design for her thoughts on architectural lighting; she said that space is of paramount concern. “Architects [try] to transform the experience of a space,” she explained. “Good architecture [tries] to create a spatial experience.”
