light Series 4: Light Installations | Fluorescent Commercial




A. Purpose of Space : commercial cafeteria space
B. Purpose of Lighting: task, mood, ambient, wayfinding
C. Luminaire: pendent lamps, track ligting, recessed, fluorescent
D.) Effect of Lighting: contrast in light and dark, and reflectivity, adds interests in spaces that otherwise might be quite boring.
Provides excellent way-finding measures and a efficient for working conditions.
E. Effect of Lighting: The effect of lighting on the colors in this space in my opinion would be that it adds contrast in light because the colors are already contrasting. The light also adds dimension to the color in the flooring as well as brings out other colors that are reflected on the floor from its polished surface.
F. Illumination Appropriateness: I think the illumination level is successful here and adds great visual interest between the colors, materials, and especially lighting chosen. They all work together to create a cohesive space.
G. The major element I would change in this space would be the rectangular fluorescent fixtures. They are too expected in a normal boring commercial interior. The form could be changed to still be efficient and functional.
