Study Notes
Second Semester Welcome
- Second semester has begun.
ARCH 364: Lighting and Acoustics
- Course name: ARCH 364 Lighting and Acoustics
- Course type: Introduction/Primer
Lighting
- Vision is created when light reflects off objects.
- Without light, architecture cannot be seen or experienced.
- Vision is the special sense that perceives object qualities (color, luminosity, shape, size).
- Light rays entering the eye are transformed into electrical signals sent to the brain via the optic nerve.
- Lighting determines how a space feels and is experienced.
- Contrast between dark and light, or light and shadow, creates appreciation for a building.
- Lighting can set the mood and make a space functional.
Acoustics
- Acoustics is how sound waves react and move within an object or space.
- Good design considers acoustics in the design stage.
- Using acoustic treatment after construction improves design.
- Poor acoustics in a space negatively impacts the design.
- Restaurants have high levels of noise pollution.
- Noise can negatively impact the experience of a space.
- Acoustics impact how a person acts, feels, and thinks in a space.
- Poor acoustics can negatively impact health.
- Students will be able to answer questions and design spaces with proper acoustic design after the lecture.
