Lighting DESIGN is a primary element in architecture design and interior architecture. Solid volumes, enclosed spaces, colors and texture can only be appreciated fully when they are imaginatively lit. Successful buildings are those in which the lighting of the building itself and the lighting of the activities it contains together make up a unified design concept. This project is design to expose and introduce students to daylighting and lighting requirement in a suggested space.

 

In architecture and interior architecture, Acoustic DESIGN is an element which concerned with control of sound in spaces especially enclosed spaces. The requirement varies in relation to functional spaces whether it is a cinema, lecture theatre, restaurant and café or acoustical requirements for a meeting room. It is essential to preserve and enhance the desired sound and to eliminate noise and undesired sound. Prestigious buildings are those in which the acoustic of the building itself speak of the quality of the building itself. This project is design to expose and introduce students to acoustic design and acoustical requirements in a suggested space.

 

Learning Outcomes   

• Able to produce a complete documentation on analysis of space in relation to lighting requirement eg. natural and artificial lighting. (Pictures, sketches and drawing) and analysis of factors which effects the lighting design of a space.

• Explore and apply understanding of building physic eg. Lighting towards building / construction technology and building materials on existing building projects.

• Able to evaluate and explore the improvisation by using current material and technology in relevance to present construction industry

• Basic understanding and analysis of lighting layout and arrangements by using certain methods or calculations eg. Lumen method and PSALI.

• Basic understanding and analysis of acoustic design layout and arrangements by using certain methods or calculations eg. Reverberation time and sound transmission coefficient.

   

   

Submission Requirement

Submit a CAREFULLY ORGANISED

 

• A4 bound technical report complete with visuals, sketches measured drawings inclusive of the detailing and documentation of your project. A digital summary of work (one A2 for acoustics and one A2 for lighting) should be uploaded in TIMeS Dropbox which is provided by lecturer.

• Visuals / Photos used in the submission must be clear and well communicated.

• Sketches are meant to provide visual documentation and communication. Therefore sketches are required to be neat, clear and annotated.

• Necessary elevation, section and axonometric of all construction elements relevant to lighting design analysis covered in the syllabus.

• Assumptions can be made through reference from book/drawings. DO NOT PLAGIARISE. Application must be according to case study context.

• Softcopy is required to be attached with the hardcopy.
