6.4 USING LIGHT

Within buildings and spaces light provides many functions:

Light to see by – this is often the first thing we think of when it comes to lighting, and sadly it is often the last consideration in lighting design. Lighting to see by can be achieved through a variety of means, from generic bulk lighting of a space based purely on delivering a particular lux level evenly across a floor plan, to the more considered provision of light where task are being undertaken, such as using pendant lights above tables or a lamp on a desk.

Light for texture and pleasure – light can be used within a space to create contrast and rich patterns that change throughout the day providing variety and stimulation for the building occupants. A great example of this is sunlight that is being filtered through the leaves of a tree, where the patterns ripple with the wind and move around the room as the sun moves across the sky.
