Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide shows how the concepts used in lighting design arise from the needs of the designer and the user. These concepts are shown in a practical context to enable you to develop and improve your design skills. Through examples and exercises, this book makes it easier for the student to acquire the level of understanding, knowledge and skill required for both examinations and professional training purposes. Over the past two decades there has been an increasing emphasis on the need for architects and building professionals to have a better understanding of lighting and the ability to deal with lighting matters within the context of the built environment. Lighting is no longer considered to be primarily the province of the electrical engineer. Previously a separate subject in the professional examinations, lighting is often now found in a more general area within an architecture or building course.

Book excerpt: The unique history of residential lighting design is an essential study for preservationists. Even before the onset of electricity, the placement and display of artificial light in domestic settings was very precisely orchestrated- just as modern lighting design today capitalizes on the capacity of the medium to carefully curate a particular atmosphere within built space. Lighting schemes in the domestic sphere during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were thoughtfully curated by female homemakers and utilized, (in part), for social mobility. Citing from interdisciplinary publications, this thesis will unpack the gendered discourses underlying social mobility in the industrial era. Drawing evidence from both primary sources and critical theory, this research examines a broad view of the development of artificial light. The following chapters will examine the subtle yet strategic ways in which women made aesthetic choices about artificial lighting design within their homes. This analysis is comprised of three objectives: to compile a more comprehensive technical history of artificial light, to contextualize artificial light as a significant artifact within the domestic interior, and finally, to examine a historical bias which excludes women’s agency in the consumer-driven development of the modern economy in the periods leading up to and during the industrial revolution. While women may not have shaped the history of lighting technology through invention or engineering, there is a case to be made for the critical role of female homemakers in influencing the modern lighting design industry. The history of technology is an elusive subject—one that does not live in any particular academic field, and therefore rarely ventures beyond a linear, reductionist narrative. However, artificial light was, and continues to be, a re-created expression of the natural environment driven by biological and intellectual needs and desires. And while current preservation standards categorize interior lighting as a simple decorative feature within the broader context of architecture (alongside utilitarian systems such as heating or plumbing), this thesis considers fixtures as relatively inconsequential to the technology they inhabited. Framing artificial light as a cultural artifact invites comparison to other significant features of the domestic interior—for which there are many scholarly resources. This research fully explores the psychological and cultural impacts of artificial light so that historians, curators, and preservationists, may broaden interpretive narratives within historical documentation. Accordingly, this can be drawn upon as a practical guide for further case studies, regional interpretation, and historicl documentation.

Book excerpt: How electric light created new spaces that transformed the built environment and the perception of modern architecture. In this book, Sandy Isenstadt examines electric light as a form of architecture—as a new, uniquely modern kind of building material. Electric light was more than just a novel way of brightening a room or illuminating a streetscape; it brought with it new ways of perceiving and experiencing space itself. If modernity can be characterized by rapid, incessant change, and modernism as the creative response to such change, Isenstadt argues, then electricity—instantaneous, malleable, ubiquitous, evanescent—is modernity's medium. Isenstadt shows how the introduction of electric lighting at the end of the nineteenth century created new architectural spaces that altered and sometimes eclipsed previously existing spaces. He constructs an architectural history of these new spaces through five examples, ranging from the tangible miracle of the light switch to the immaterial and borderless gloom of the wartime blackout. He describes what it means when an ordinary person can play God by flipping a switch; when the roving cone of automobile headlights places driver and passenger at the vertex of a luminous cavity; when lighting in factories is seen to enhance productivity; when Times Square became an emblem of illuminated commercial speech; and when the absence of electric light in a blackout produced a new type of space. In this book, the first sustained examination of the spatial effects of electric lighting, Isenstadt reconceives modernism in architecture to account for the new perceptual conditions and visual habits that followed widespread electrification.

Download or read book Experiencing Architecture, second edition written by Steen Eiler Rasmussen and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1964-03-15 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic examination of superb design through the centuries. Widely regarded as a classic in the field, Experiencing Architecture explores the history and promise of good design. Generously illustrated with historical examples of designing excellence—ranging from teacups, riding boots, and golf balls to the villas of Palladio and the fish-feeding pavilion of Beijing's Winter Palace—Rasmussen's accessible guide invites us to appreciate architecture not only as a profession, but as an art that shapes everyday experience. In the past, Rasmussen argues, architecture was not just an individual pursuit, but a community undertaking. Dwellings were built with a natural feeling for place, materials and use, resulting in “a remarkably suitable comeliness.” While we cannot return to a former age, Rasmussen notes, we can still design spaces that are beautiful and useful by seeking to understand architecture as an art form that must be experienced. An understanding of good design comes not only from one's professional experience of architecture as an abstract, individual pursuit, but also from one's shared, everyday experience of architecture in real time—its particular use of light, color, shape, scale, texture, rhythm and sound. Experiencing Architecture reminds us of what good architectural design has accomplished over time, what it can accomplish still, and why it is worth pursuing. Wide-ranging and approachable, it is for anyone who has ever wondered “what instrument the architect plays on.”
