Light
Light and shadow, often taken for granted,
profoundly influence our
everyday lives.
Light not only affects our moods and health but affects the way we
perceive the physical environment about us. It can help to shape our
opinions and even guide us both literally and emotionally.
From a practical point of view light enables us to complete tasks
successfully and safely.
From an aesthetic point of view light can enhance and articulate space.
Properly considered lighting - both with sunlight and electric light, makes us feel comfortable, more relaxed, safer, it can make our surroundings appear more attractive and help us understand what is going on around us. Well designed lighting can help us be more productive, improve our health and well being, save energy and reduce pollution.
Lighting is an expressive tool capable of great emotional intensity, it is also capable of great subtlety and sensitivity. Good lighting isn't and shouldn't always be apparent, like good drama or art it should draw you in subconsciously working seamlessly towards a wider approach to the design of a space.
