Understanding the psychology of light allows interior designers to create spaces that are not only visually appealing but also conducive to a positive human experience. Importance of Lighting : 1. Visual Clarity 2. Enhances mood and well-being 3. Affects productivity and focus 4. Creates ambiance and atmosphere 5. Safety and Security: Adequate lighting reduces accidents and increases visibility, contributing to a safe and secure environment.

Evening 3 As the sun sets, our bodies naturally begin to produce melatonin, preparing us for sleep. Minimizing exposure to bright lights in the evening can help facilitate this process.

U N I V E R S I T Y O F B U R A I M I  Assignment 4 Each student is requested to Identify and describe five real-world examples of interior spaces (homes, workplaces, public areas, commercial spaces) where lighting has been applied effectively to enhance the atmosphere, emotions, or behaviors of the people in the space. For each example, address the following: Space Description: What type of space is it (living room, office, retail store, healthcare facility, etc.)? Lighting Principles Applied: What specific lighting principles (ambient, task, accent lighting, color temperature, lighting intensity, natural vs. artificial light) have been used? Emotional and Behavioral Impact: How does the lighting influence emotions and behaviors within the space? Consider aspects like mood, productivity, comfort, social interaction, relaxation, or creativity. 11 U N I V E R S I T Y O F B U R A I M I  Assignment 4 1. Example Answer Outline: A luxury hotel lobby that uses warm accent lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere. Lighting Principle: Ambient lighting with warm color temperature (2700K) combined with accent lighting to highlight architectural features. Emotional and Behavioral Impact: The warm lighting evokes feelings of comfort, relaxation, and luxury, encouraging guests to feel at ease and stay longer. 12 U N I V E R S I T Y O F B U R A I M I  Assignment 4 2. How Lighting Influences Emotions and Behavior in Interior Spaces For each of your five examples, explain how the lighting design influences the emotions and behavior of the individuals using the space. Consider the following: 1. Emotions: Does the lighting make people feel relaxed, energized, productive, calm, or social? Explain why. 2. Behavior: Does the lighting encourage certain behaviors, such as collaboration, relaxation, focused work, or exploration? How does the lighting design support these behaviors? 3.Lighting Design Intent and Purpose Explain the intent behind the lighting design in each of your examples. Was the lighting used to: 1. Create a specific atmosphere (calming in a spa, stimulating in a retail space)? 2. Influence the behavior of the people in the space (motivating employees in an office, encouraging relaxation in a hotel)? 3. Enhance the aesthetic or architectural features of the space (accent lighting on artwork or architecture)? 13 U N I V E R S I T Y O F B U R A I M I  References Spence, C.
