AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: This exercise aims to enhance your understanding of the basic principles of artificial lighting design and to show how lighting can enhance the overall aesthetic and functional

quality of a building. BRIEF: This is an individual exercise, and you are to produce an A3-sized poster to depict your understanding of the application of artificial lighting and natural lighting in a real building. You should investigate one of museums or art galleries (or a gallery of your choice) through the onsite visiting and/or virtual tour (please find several links with cases in the next page) and consider how spaces within the museum/gallery are lit, why they are lit in that way, what the lighting is trying to achieve and whether the lighting is successful. Your poster should at least cover the following topics (but can include more): O The building being studied; O The requirements of lighting in the building; O Description of the types of artificial lighting used in one of the main rooms/areas in the building; O Justification for use of the type of artificial lighting; O Examples of effects produced: artificial lighting on its own (night-time), as well as strategies when daylight levels are low (combination with daylight). You should also comment and critique these effects. You should use terms and criteria covered in the lectures in your analysis of the lighting scheme. ARCH311 ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN 3 Assignment: Artificial Lighting in Museums and Art Galleries The poster should be logically laid-out, with diagrams and annotations clearly shown. Marks will be awarded for both content and presentation of the poster. SUBMISSION: ● O ● ● Submit an electronic version (ppt or pdf format) of your poster in CANVAS by Make sure your name and student ID number are on your poster. Files must NOT be larger than 50 MB. Name the files according to the following format: o Surname_FirstName.pdf The exercise will be formally assessed by the module staff and will count 30% towards your final mark for this module. NB: Although electronic versions are being submitted, please note that you should be designing the font sizes and resolution of diagrams to be clearly readable on the A3-size hard copy poster.
