WELCOME TO THE SECOND SEMESTER  ARCH 364 LIGHTING AND ACOUSTICS INTRO / PRIMER LIGHTING  OUR VISION IS PRODUCED WHEN LIGHT IS REFLECTED FROM AN OBJECT THEREFORE WITHOUT LIGHT, WE CANNOT SEE OR EXPERIENCE ARCHITECTURE  Vision: the special sense by which the qualities of an object (such as color, luminosity, shape, and size) constituting its appearance are perceived through a process in which light rays entering the eye are transformed by the retina into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve. LIGHTING DETERMINES HOW WE FEEL AND EXPERIENCE A SPACE THE CONTRAST BETWEEN DARK AND LIGHT OR LIGHT AND SHADOW IS WHAT GIVES US THIS APPRECIATION TO A BUILDING LIGHTING CAN NOT ONLY SET THE MOOD OF A SPACE BUT CAN MOST IMPORTANTNLY MAKE THE SPACE FUNCTIONAL  HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS THAT MOST OF YOU HAVE ABOUT LIGHTING DESIGN HOW MANY LIGHTS SHOULD I USE? WHERE DO I PLACE THE LIGHTS? HOW DO I CHOOSE THE LIGHT? HOW BRIGHT SHOULD THE LIGHT BE? AFTER OUR LECTURE ABOUT LIGHTING, WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ALL THOSE QUESTIONS AND EVEN DESIGN A SPACE WITH PROPER LIGHTING DESIGN ACOUSTICS  ACOUSTICS IS HOW SOUND WAVES REACT AND MOVE WITHIN AN OBJECT OR SPACE  A GOOD DESIGN SHOULD CONSIDER ACOUSTICS IN THE DESIGN STAGE USING ACOUSTICAL TREATMENT AFTER CONSTRUCTION AND OCCUPANCY IS A SIGN OF POOR DESIGN TRIVIA: RESTAURANTS ARE ONE OF THE SPACES THAT HAS THE HIGHEST NOISE POLLUTION IN PUBLIC SPACES. ACCORDING TO CHEF RAMON FREXIA FROM MADRID SPAIN, “GASTRONOMY IS AN EXPERIENCE OF THE SENSES AND NOISE CAN HARM THAT PLEASURE” ACOUSTICS CAN BE ANOTHER WAY TO EXPERIENCE SPACE ACOUSTICS CAN INFLUENCE HOW WE ACT, FEEL, THINK IN A SPACE BAD ACOUSTICS IS EVEN HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH:  HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS THAT MOST OF YOU HAVE ABOUT ACOUSTIC DESIGN HOW DO I MAKE A ROOM ACOUSTICALLY EFFICIENT? WHAT DO I NEED TO AVOID IF I WANT TO HAVE A ROOM WITH GOOD ACOUSTICS AFTER OUR LECTURE ABOUT ACOSUTICS, WE WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ALL THOSE QUESTIONS AND EVEN DESIGN A SPACE WITH PROPER ACOUSTIC DESIGN
