From the article Designing the Light for a Project, I found a few aspects that I believe to be highly important and will incorporate in my future designs.
In no particular order, they are as follows:
1.All spaces are not created equally, and need to be addressed on an individual basis; yet they must still follow a certain criteria for a successful outcome of illuminating a space.
2.Balance is key for efficient, well-lit areas like office spaces.
3.“Light is inseparably linked with perception, and perception is inseparably linked with space,” which is thought to be the most difficult of the steps.
4. Light is a signal when applied alone and a directional when used in rows.
I was also very appreciative of the excerpt that described stair lighting, especially because this is a challenge I will be facing when working on the lighting for the Getaway House. I originally wanted the steps leading into the house to be illuminated from the riser area, which I would assume would wash over the tread (or at least I hope), because now I know that the tread must be brighter in order for the user to see their way up and down the stairs.
I have learned to view lighting differently as I settle deeper into the ID program. I understand how lighting should be considered as an integrial part of programming in the initial phases of a addressing a design problem as opposed to an after thought. After reading the chapter 10 the customization of lighting is unique not only to the type of commercial businesses but also the individuals within the space.It is clear that good or bad lighting can have different pschological, emotional, physical, financial effects on the individual(s) or business welfare. Why do you think lighting to those uninformed is such an after thought considering how it is a major component in everything we do. Do some people take it for granted? julz...i'm going to bed.....
Yes, I believe it is taken for granted at times. However, when a hurricane blows through, we are thanking our lucky stars we still have power!
A reflected ceiling plan is a drawing of a room or building, looking down at the interior ceiling.
It is a view of the ceiling from above. It is as if you were floating above the ceiling and looking down at it.
This view will show the location of light fixtures, drywall or t-bar ceiling patterns and any items that may be suspended from the ceiling.
Many projects will require electrical and mechanical drawings. The interior designer or architect will provide the electrical, mechanical engineer with their reflected ceiling plan design. The engineer will add the required information such as circuitry, duct placement, etc.
A reflected ceiling plan is drawn to scale. This means that the plan is measured down proportionately to a size that will fit on a drawing sheet. A reflected ceiling plan will most often be at the same scale as the floor plan. A common scale is one quarter of an inch is equal to one foot (scale: ¼” = 1’-0”).
