Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an important book, written by one of the top lighting designers in the country. Written at the end of a career as an architect and lighting designer, the book draws on the experience gained while living through a period of intense lighting development, from 1956 up to the millenium. It bridges the gap between the present day architect and lighting engineer, from the viewpoint of the 'independent lighting designer'. 'Lighting Modern Buildings' documents the part played by the independent lighting designer, leading to a greater understanding by architects and lighting engineers of the importance of lighting in architectural design. The book starts with an exploration of the basic human needs of vision and the perception of our exterior world...the intellectual and the physical...since this is what lighting is all about. To do this, it is necessary to trace the development of daylight from earliest times up to the present day; the starting point for any lighting design is the 'natural' source. Whilst an essential understanding of the role of daylight is the beginning, a knowledge of the various forms and properties of artificial light is essential; not only at night but during the day. In early buildings, there was one form of light - daylight - during the day and another - artificial - at night. No attempt was made to integrate the two. The situation today is different; there are many reasons for this, not least in the possibilities of modern structure. The book therefore has extensive coverage of day and night lighting and how it is designed to provide optimum solutions in building design. A major portion of Derek Phillips' book is devoted to 'design'. Sufficient technical detail is provided in the book to permit an understanding of the design principles of each scheme. Schemes illustrated vary from small domestic buildings, churches and workplace, to those devoted to leisure and sport. At the end of each section a series of conclusions are drawn leading to a philosophy of lighting design.

Download or read book Suggested Standards for Glass Fiber Optics Functional Architectural Lighting in Historic Buildings and Sites written by GN. Kay and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mechanical/electrical systems, upgraded or installed anew, can have a serious mpact on historic structures and their contents. Since these disciplines are necessary to satisfy building codes and current tenants' requirements, minimum standards of procedure are essential, because, if done insensitively, this work can cause untold aggravation, horrendous cost overruns and even irreversible damage to original design and fabric. Two of these services are especially destructive to the fugitive organic materials found in most pre-1940 properties. They are unbalanced temperature/humidity levels, and light. Obviously, light is necessary to experience all human endeavors, but, whether manmade or natural, it will eventually cause deterioration from infrared and ultraviolet rays. One type of lighting can delay these inevitable effects. That is the completely different concept of glass fiber-optics functional architectural lighting. This paper offers criteria for employing this very energy-efficient, low maintenance, and discreet lighting tool to extend the life of architectural heritage.

Book excerpt: Daylighting offers a general theory and introduction to the use of natural light in architecture. The fourth of Derek Phillip's lighting books draws on his experience to illustrate how best to bring natural light into building design. As sustainability becomes a core principal for designers, daylighting comes to the fore as an alternative to artificial, energy consuming, light. Here, Phillips makes a rational argument for considering daylight first, outlining the arguments in favour of a daylight approach, and goes on to show, through a series of beautifully illustrated case studies, how architects have created buildings in which natural light has been shown to play a major strategic role in the development of the design of a building.

This invaluable catalog, illustrated with 175 photographs, also provides a history of American floors,a glossary of floor covering terms, addresses for 82 suppliers (many of whom fill custom and special orders), a reading list and sources of help.
