<p><strong>1 LIGHT PHYSICS </strong></p><p>Light and Lighting </p><p>Francesco Anselmo </p><p>Light intro </p><p>Light animates and reveals architecture. Architecture cannot fully exist without light, since without light there would be nothing to see. </p><p>Yet in architectural design light is usually either expected from nature or developed as an add-on attachment very late in the design process. </p><p>The course explores the <strong>symbiotic relationship </strong>between architecture and light. </p><p><strong>As much as light can reveal architecture, architecture can animate light</strong>, making it </p><p>bounce, scatter, refract, altering its spectrum and colour perception, absorbing it or reflecting it, modulating its path and strength in both space and time. </p><p>It aims at <strong>developing a sensibility and intuition to the qualities of light</strong>, whilst giving the <strong>physical and computational tools </strong>to explore and validate design ideas. </p><p><strong>4</strong></p><p><strong>7</strong></p><p><strong>1</strong></p><p><strong>2</strong></p><p><strong>3</strong></p><p><strong>5</strong></p><p><strong>6</strong></p><p><strong>4 LIGHT ELECTRIC </strong></p><p><strong>1 LIGHT PHYSICS </strong></p><p><strong>7 LIGHT CONNECTED </strong></p><p><strong>2 LIGHT BIOLOGY&nbsp;5 LIGHT ARCHITECTURE </strong></p><p><strong>3 LIGHT NATURAL&nbsp;6 LIGHT VIRTUAL </strong></p><p>Reading list </p><p>Books </p><p>Bachelard, Gaston. <strong>The poetics of space</strong>, Beacon Press 1992 </p><p>Free online resources </p><p>• <a href="/goto?url=http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/ligcon.html" target="_blank">http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/ligcon.html </a></p><p>Banham, Reyner. <strong>The architecture of the well-tempered Environment</strong>, Chicago University Press 1984 Bazerman, Charles. <strong>The languages of Edison’s light</strong>, MIT Press 2002 </p><p>Berger, John. <strong>Ways of seeing</strong>, Pearson Education, Limited, 2002 </p><p>• <a href="/goto?url=http://thedaylightsite.com/" target="_blank">http://thedaylightsite.com/ </a>• <a href="/goto?url=http://issuu.com/lightonline/docs/handbook-of-lighting-design" target="_blank">http://issuu.com/lightonline/docs/handbook-of-lighting-design </a>• <a href="/goto?url=http://www.radiance-online.org/" target="_blank">http://www.radiance-online.org/ </a></p><p>Berger, John. <strong>About looking</strong>, Bloomsbury Publishing 2009 </p><p>Bluhm, Andreas. <strong>Light!

I like to get involved with both the art and science of lighting. I love how light can shape the experience of a place, influencing people’s moods and emotions and stimulating behaviours. During my time with Arup, I have been involved in architectural lighting and daylighting design for a broad range of international projects, with a special focus on workplaces, schools and art galleries. One of my proudest experiences was working on the daylighting design for the <a href="/goto?url=http://www.arup.com/Projects/Dwabor_kindergarten.aspx" target="_blank">Dwabor Kindergarten </a>in Ghana. My initial design and research interests were daylighting, sustainability, visual perception and lighting control. More recently I have developed a strong passion for user interface design, physical computing and the creative and engineering aspects of art installations. This has led me to explore how web design and digital technologies can simplify or amplify our daily interactions with automated buildings and to question what words like intelligent and smart mean in the context of the built environment. </p><p>in 3 words, what is light for you? </p><p><strong>1 LIGHT PHYSICS </strong></p><p>volume balance </p><p>emotional </p><p>visibility visibility atmosphere atmosphere atmosphere atmosphere senses space </p><p>space </p><p>time beauty truth safe safe atmospheric atmospheric </p><p>focal point nature </p><p>physical vibrancy </p><p>articulate necessary </p><p>energy energy </p><p>energy device </p><ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">contrast </li><li style="flex:1">illumination </li></ul><p>illumination ambience colour colour </p><p>colour speed shadow shadow shadow speed </p><p>the phenomenon of light </p><p></p><ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">Galileo </li><li style="flex:1">Euclid </li><li style="flex:1">Alhazen </li></ul><p></p><p>optics, telescope attempts to find speed of light </p><ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">rectilinear propagation </li><li style="flex:1">law of reflection </li></ul><p></p><p></p><ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">Kepler </li><li style="flex:1">Snel </li><li style="flex:1">Fermat </li><li style="flex:1">Grimaldi </li></ul><p></p><p></p><ul style="display: flex;"><li style="flex:1">total internal reflection </li><li style="flex:1">law of reflection </li></ul><p>principle of least time diffraction deviation from rectilinear propagation law of refraction </p><p>Newton <br>Huygens <br>Fresnel </p><p>spectrum of light wave theory optics </p><p>polarisation luminiferous aether? </p><p>Einstein <br>Maxwell </p><p>theory of relativity photon electromagnetic field </p>
