Architectural lighting design is generally believed to have visual and psychological consequences on humans, has been investigated either as an artistic or a scientific endeavour. This paper explores the possibility that these two viewpoints are not mutually exclusive with poetic approach. It builds upon arguments: first poetry, being inherently compositional system like language, impacts perceived meaning of lit environments; second humans seek qualities experiential richness when...
This paper aims to determine the characteristics of an ideal lighting control system. The notion designing quality environments that provide rich sensory experiences is used as a fundamental basis. A theoretical premise derived from realm interaction design for providing put forward: It focusses on enabling tangible through properties systems. Human psycho-physiological processes are examined in order direct human interface with controls towards interaction.
This paper aims to describe a framework that formally evaluates end-user interactions with lighting control interfaces, the antecedent factors help form it, and its applications. The uses concept of tangible interaction distinguish between notions usability experience, argues both have an impact on overall effectiveness interfaces. Usability is concerned easier understanding functions. End-user experience explicating quality end-users' such as fun pleasure use. Survey research experimental...
This paper aims to design a prototype tangible user interface (TUI) for lighting control, and test its usability end-user experience against conventional interface. Usability is concerned with easier understanding of control functions. End-user explicating the quality end-users' such as fun pleasure use. TUIs that offer end-users freedom personal expression alongside functional information are proposed basis making systems understand more pleasurable Three dominant views on interaction...
This study investigates the impact of Window-to-Wall Ratio (WWR) and Shading Coefficients (SC) as passive design strategies to optimise daylight in an opaque brick Double-Skin Façade (DSF) education building Depok, Indonesia. A sample was simulated with DiaLux software for calculating distribution due WWR on a daily basis during normal office hours. The optimum amount window size glazing were investigated typical floor plate area 315.16m2. considered from 30% 60% at 10% intervals horizontal...
This small-scale pilot study investigates peoples’ shortterm chromatic adaptation preferences for correlated colour temperature (CCT) within the cultural context of India. White tone CCT were investigated using a spectrally tuneable LED lighting system. A mock-up room was built and illuminated with two luminaires. Each luminaire has 216 clusters each cluster comprising three equal respectively to 3000 K, 4000 K 6500 (total 648 LEDs per luminaire). User preference studies in generic...
As many aspects of animal, human and plant behavior survival are being perturbed by widespread exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN), lighting professionals in the middle, attempting make design decisions that directly affect these life forms. Research shows any higher than nighttime natural environment will have a negative impact on various forms during nocturnal phase. This paper aims provide process for "life-centric" with good non-human outcomes all life-sustaining behaviors earth...
This study demonstrates the possibility of growing green walls in normal commercial building environments with lighting designed primarily for aesthetic reasons, rather than promotion plant growth. Lighting is a key resource required growth and maintenance robust within interior environments. The evaluated appearance electric used reasons. Three identical six different plants were illuminated using three white LED light sources period five months. Plant health was monitored documented terms...
The term ‘biodynamic’ lighting is proposed as a to capture the true aspiration of ‘life-centric’ lighting: good human and non-human outcomes for all life-sustaining behaviours on earth driven by design phototropism, phototaxis, photoperiodism circadian entrainment. While future studies are necessary consolidate this aspiration, it clear that has immediate potential better support planetary health. As many aspects animal, plantbehaviour survival being...
This paper aims to establish lighting as a key facilitator in the placemaking processes for World Heritage Sites. Placemaking is process of designing, managing, planning and programming development shared public spaces within urban fabric. Research methods inspired from ethnography such interviews, observations questionnaires are used gather data three main groups people related Sites namely: heritage experts, designers, locals visitors. Two UNESCO designated investigated case studies:...
This paper aims to identify end-user requirements that help improve the effectiveness of lighting control systems. The crucial question posed is, what is nature interface designs sought by end-users for maximising interaction with systems? Literatures from most influential studies on interactive systems are reviewed list in order three stages human technology: Recognition, Exploration and Reliance. Results two then validate this requirements. objective provide perspectives themes analysis,...
This study investigates the cultural dimension in sustainable lighting design to create inclusive environments. India being one of most culturally and ethnically diverse nations world, with a population almost 18% world population, requires attention include With changing lifestyle growth organized retailing, Indian retail market needs an upgrade environments for shared experiences. Lighting is among influencing atmospheric attribute simulating environment holistic shopping experience....

This study aims to reduce the lighting energy consumption in educational buildings while avoiding an increase cooling load. The Faculty of Engineering building Universitas Indonesia, Depok, West Java, Indonesia is used as a case study. Daylight optimization can have impact on energy, which largest consumer buildings. However, given Indonesia’s tropical climate, daylight leading heat gain concern. Current passive design interventions for controlling and include light shelves, clerestories,...
