Humans have
evolved to prefer certain characteristics of light and interior spaces
– we naturally gravitate towards and feel more comfortable in spaces
that are coherent, that provide a clear view of how to move through
them, that are well illuminated by full-spectrum light and where
contrasts in light and colors are used to create emphasize what is most
important, creating a visual hierarchy.
Indirect lighting makes use of the building’s interior envelope and
volume to modulate, amplify, and balance lighting from various sources.
A layered approach to the lighting of interior spaces, which
incorporates a balance of direct and indirect lighting improves visual
coherence and wayfinding; articulates and highlights architectural
elements, and positively impacts health and productivity.
This course explores how indirect lighting can be used to improve the
comfort level of a space and allow it to be used in multiple ways.
Participants will learn lighting design techniques for optimizing the
design of interior spaces by illuminating ceilings and walls, and by
backlighting through translucent materials.
