Luminous Surfaces in Architecture

Description

Learn how luminous surfaces will change the way lighting is incorporated into architecture. Topics include the history and role of luminous surfaces in creating spaces that are more synchronised with the human experience of our environment, standards driving the incorporation of human well-being in design, the applications and design approaches for successfully specifying luminous surfaces into architecture, as well as a look at how luminous ceilings can contribute to acoustic performance.

This presentation will help you understand:

• The role of luminous surfaces in providing architectural illumination
• The design requirements for luminous surfaces as a source of illumination
• The technology options available for choosing lighting for luminous surfaces including LED string, tape, edge lit panels and flexible or inflexible LED arrays
• The key design considerations required for the integration of lighting with surface materials
• The characteristics of soft and hard luminous surfaces and their photometric performances.
