Session Survey
For a variety of reasons, much of our current built environment does not provide optimal daylight and views. And to use a medical analogy, we often treat the symptoms with technology – replicating sunlight with electric light and developing ever more complex lighting systems – rather than the underlying cause, which is lack of daylight and views. Traditionally daylighting design has not been the purview of the lighting designer, but this is changing, as innovative firms take a more holistic approach to lighting and daylighting design that includes close integration with architecture and other building systems. This talk will focus on the design process and the many health and wellness benefits of daylight and views through a series of exemplary case studies.
