In the Spotlight - " Light The Fourth Dimension"
Lighting has always been a fundamental element in the conception of architectural spaces, for it is capable of playing with volumes, distorting the perception of space and even dramatizing the shapes and textures of the materials, enhancing their aesthetic features dramatically.
In sustainable building designs, daylight is considered as an alternative source of light to artificial lighting. Natural light is the best source for light due to its good quality, which matches the visual response of the human eyes. Daylight positively affects people by providing a sense of liveliness and brightness in the space.
But, what about artificial light? Whether it is simply to replace natural light as night falls, or to bring light to areas where natural light does not reach, Artificial lighting is an absolute necessity. Moreover, it has ceased to be a simple method of basic lighting and has become one of the fundamental pillars of interior and exterior design. We have come a long way since the first lightbulb,
Artificial light has the capacity to create a number of different ambiences in the same space making it a sort of “space shaper”, adapting the atmosphere according to the consumers’ needs. The use of warm lighting can produce cozy and calm atmospheres, whereas cold light stimulates mental and physical activity.
It is also an element with the capacity to transform spaces, with an ability to communicate, and the capability to modify the subtle messages a space transmits to those using them .
It is, therefore, no wonder that lighting is considered to be the “fourth dimension” in architecture.
