Abstract
Daylight has a significant impact on the perception of the building space. The term “lightspace” is introduced to determine phenomena of sensorial perception of architectural object’s indoor space and four different components of lightspace, such as functional, architectural and artistic, light-technical and visual, are considered. Further, three groups of architectural and artistic design techniques were estimated: based on space modeling (organisation of lightspaces in the building structure, organization of multi-light spaces, plasticity organization of lightspace, methods of natural light penetration through the shell of the building), light modeling (the distribution of light in space and its spectral composition), and time modeling (light dynamic, transformation of the building parts, movement of people in the place). Attention is drawn to relationship between diverse lightspace design techniques and architectural practice.
Highlights
Natural light in contemporary architecture occupies a unique position in which it appears simultaneously in two forms
2 Materials and methods The research method is based on the complex scientific study of the problems of usage of natural light in architecture, on the application of evolutionary and system analysis, on the study of the illustrative and graphic documents and video materials, on the natural study of architectural objects, on the classification and systematisation of materials, on the comparative analysis, on creation of schemes and models
For the research of the features revealing the meaning of the term “lightspace” of an architectural object and the content of the project problems and of the design methodology, the following main components were identified [2]: the functional, the architectural and artistic, the light-technical and visual
Summary
Natural light in contemporary architecture occupies a unique position in which it appears simultaneously in two forms. It exists in the world of physical phenomena and the metaphysical world of meanings, metaphors and ideas. On the other hand, abstracting from the utilitarian understanding of the role of light leads us to the light as an important cultural concept based on sensually perceived phenomena. At this point, light becomes a powerful tool for the emotional impact on the viewer, acting as a catalyst for the perception of the architectural image
