The meaning of architectural lighting has lost its power and meaning over the last years. That is because the term is used inappropriately in every form of lighting in architecture. You can read more about the meaning of architectural lighting in this blog.
It is sometimes referred to as ‘architectural lighting’ when it comes to lighting the exterior of buildings or other structures or bridges. Then one is talking purely about ‘illumination of architecture’, which is an overly narrow definition of what architectural lighting really is.
Architectural lighting can be seen as the type of lighting that arises for and from architecture. In a sense, architectural and decorative lighting are the opposite of each other. We can mainly deduce this contradiction from the way of thinking that precedes the drawing up of a lighting plan.
While the term architectural lighting seems finite, it can apply to all the types of lighting fixture that is used in an architectural project, such as a building. It is easier to say what architectural lighting is not: throwing light into a space just to create illumination.
The proves of drawing up an architectural lighting plan considers:
Department stores, industrial centers, facilities, schools, and buildings all have intended functions. All those intended functions can be supported or undermined by lighting fixtures chosen to fill in.
Choosing the correct lighting is not only based on the looks of the lighting. The perfect selection of lighting includes a lot of different choices to make and aspects to look at. It includes thinking about the energy consumption, lumen, rebates, real-world factors, the warmth of the light(s) and the overall impact of the electrical load. While a lot of different lightings looks the same, it is possible that they can be totally different in energy rebates and supplier expenses. That is the reason why you not only need to check the look of the lighting but also all the different features of the light. Comparing the lights and the features tells you which architectural lighting fits best with your project.
In a good and strong architectural lighting plan, daylight is still the most important source of light. The space we perceive and see is a direct result of the natural light streaming into the space. The benefit of artificial light is that it can complement natural, or day light and it can be used to create subtle accents to highlight and distinguish specific objects. Every day becomes night. Which means that the artificial lighting must also be intertwined with the whole architectural designing process to benefit architecture both quantitatively and qualitatively. Especially when the sunlight disappears, which is the most important natural light source.
