Exterior Lighting Space Conditions

Exterior Lighting Space Conditions Site Plan Picture

Exterior Lighting Goals Bring Contrast between Modern and Historical Architecture Avoid Light Trespass Maintain Proper Power Density

Building Design Issues Transition from historical vernacular to modern architecture

Transition Spaces Vestibule (1) Foyer (2) Lobby (3) Prefunction (4) Corridor (5) Coat Room (6) 2 4 1 3 6 5 Spaces Lead to two different entrances of the auditorium From the prefunction space and near the coat room.

Transition Spaces Space Conditions Walls-either limestone or wood paneling Carpet floors Eggshell painted ceilings No daylight

Transition Spaces Design Goals Establish aesthetic attraction to new spaces Create energy efficient system Lighting to create flow for traffic Maintain proper illuminance for activities within the space Provide Adaptation at Entrances/Transition Spaces Allows eyes to adjust to changing light levels Control dimmers w/ manual preset system
