Impact of diverse lighting in a laboratory setting: a comparison of two laboratory sites

Includes bibliographical references (pages 38-40)Integrating light in an interior setting is one of the most fundamental elements in design. Lighting can be categorized in two ways; one as natural light derived from the sunlight and the other as artificial light produced by an electronic device. These two types of lighting work in conjunction with other design factors when the proper lighting is achieved to transform a purposeful and aesthetically pleasing interior. In this project, two laboratories were visually examined to observe the impact of light on an interior setting. Extensive literature findings were implemented to generate a design proposal that would best fit for each laboratory site. The results obtained in this case study project suggest that the balance of natural and artificial light can impact various design elements in two interior environments with different functions
