1.1 ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING
LAYOUT AND DESIGN SERVICES
INVOLVES THE DETAILED PLANNING
AND DESIGN OF LIGHT
TRANSMISSION, TIMING AND
CONTROL FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH
THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
CONCEPT.
1.2 ONE OF THE LIMITING CRITERIA IN
BUILDING DESIGN HAS BEEN THE NEED TO
CONTROL LIGHT IN AN ENCLOSED OR DEFINED
SPACE. THE CONTINUING EVOLUTION OF
PRODUCTS AND TECHNIQUES IN LIGHTING
HAS PROVIDED A WIDER FLEXIBILITY IN THE
DESIGN OF THE BUILDING’S INTERIOR AND
EXTERIOR ENVIRONMENTS. THIS ALLOWS THE
ARCHITECT TO BUILD AN ENVIRONMENT THAT
ANSWERS THE LIGHTING DEMANDS OF VARIED
ACTIVITIES WITHIN AND OUTSIDE A BUILDING.
EXAMPLES OF LIGHTING DEMANDS
INDOOR LIGHTING
GENERAL OR AMBIENT LIGHTING
THEY ARE SIMPLY USED TO MAKE AN
INTERIOR SPACE VISIBLE. THEY PROVIDE
GENERAL LIGHTING FOR A SPACE AND
ARE SOMETIMES USED TO REFER TO
NATURAL, OR EXISTING LIGHT.

TASK LIGHTING

SPECIFIC AREA TO GIVE MORE DETAIL
TO OBJECTS AND PROVIDE SAFE

ACCENT LIGHTING

“ACCENTUATE” FEATURES AND ADD
VISUAL INTEREST TO AN OBJECT OR
AREA. USE ACCENT LIGHTS TO ADD
DRAMA AND CHANGE THE MOOD OF A
ROOM.

 THE ART & SCIENCE
OF LIGHTING DESIGN
• AS A SCIENCE, THE AMOUNTS OF
ILLUMINATION NEEDED IN CERTAIN
ASPECTS OF THE QUALITY OF LIGHT
HAVE BEEN QUANTIFIED.
• AS AN ART HOWEVER, TO ATTACH
NUMBERS IS MEANINGLESS BECAUSE
LIGHT IS AN EXPERIENCE OF THE
SENSES. IT IS NOT AN INTELLECTUAL
EXPERIENCE.
• LIGHTING IN A SPACE IS A POSITIVE
FORCE THAT CAN MOTIVATE PEOPLE TO
BE ACTIVE, RELAXED, PRODUCTIVE,
LIVELY, DEPRESSED, FEARFUL OR
OVERACTIVE.
• LIGHTING SHOULD MAKE PEOPLE
IMPORTANT.
• IT SHOULD CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE
PLEASING TO THE OCCUPANTS WHETHER
IN AN OFFICE, STORE, SHOWROOM OR
HOME.
• LIGHTING SHOULD PROVIDE VISIBILITY,
CHARACTER AND MOOD, AS WELL AS
RELATE HARMONIOUSLY TO THE SPACE
IN WHICH IT IS USED.
• THE COMPLEX AND TEMPORAL NATURE
OF LIGHTING IS ONE OF THE LEAST
UNDERSTOOD OF ITS MANY VARIABLES.
• BECAUSE OF THIS COMPLEXITY,
LIGHTING DESIGN CAN BE ONE OF THE
MOST CREATIVE AREAS OF ALL OF
ARCHITECTURE.
