Freeform reflectors for architectural lighting.
We propose an improved method to design freeform reflectors for architectural lighting: one for accent lighting and another for large area wall washing. The designed freeform reflectors effectively distribute light fluxes over the target surfaces, and generate appropriate illumination patterns for comfortable visual environments, which provides greater flexibility for lighting designs, allows m...
متن کاملScalable, Freeform Urban Lighting Displays
Urban Lighting has many applications. This short paper outlines the case for classifying those applications on a single spectrum, and discusses the results and insights gained from a longitudinal field trial of a scalable technology designed to support these applications.
متن کاملArchitectural freeform structures from single curved panels
The problem of covering a freeform surface by single curved panels can be treated with the concept of semi-discrete surface representations, which constitute a link between smooth and discrete surfaces. A surface composed from developable strips (called a D-strip model) is the semi-discrete equivalent of a quad mesh with planar faces, or a conjugate parametrization of a smooth surface. Using re...
متن کاملFreeform Shading and Lighting Systems from Planar Quads
The topic of this paper is optimized shading and lighting systems which consist of planar fins arranged along the edges of a quad-dominant base mesh, that mesh itself covering a reference surface. Such an arrangement can be observed e.g. in the Kogod courtyard roof designed by Foster + Partners for the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC (Fig. 1): A reference surface consisting of three ...
متن کاملDoes architectural lighting contribute to breast cancer?
OBJECTIVES There is a growing interest in the role that light plays on nocturnal melatonin production and, perhaps thereby, the incidence of breast cancer in modern societies. The direct causal relationships in this logical chain have not, however, been fully established and the weakest link is an inability to quantitatively specify architectural lighting as a stimulus for the circadian system....
