2.3.3 ROLE OF LIGHT

Light is the soul of architectural design. Activity can help us to see, to know where we are and what is around us. Beyond exposing things to view and feel, light models those items to improve visuals and help us identify the physical world. Light generates emotional responses. Natural light, commonly known as daylight, is the source of light. There must always be room for natural light; even when artificial light is designed, people want it to seem like natural light.

• Lighting has a significant impact on how people see and understand architecture. Whether it's daylighting or fake lighting, light enables people to notice surfaces, shades, and different sorts of rooms, assisting engineering to achieve its goal.

It is critical to remember three critical aspects of building illumination-

• Aesthetic Efficiency • Function

People's behaviour and emotions are influenced by light. It has the potential to make people happier. When designing lighting for a place, designers must consider the individuals who will be working in that space. Even the lighting appears to be extremely functional. The placement of an aperture influences how natural light enters and illuminates a room's shapes and surfaces.

Keeping in mind that no glare should be created, both should be given with natural light, both outdoor and indoor.

The relationship between light, space, and humans

Light is vital to space and important to human well-being, and it is essential to the success of any structure. Human behaviour, health, comfort, and mood are all influenced by light quality. Light, space, and humans all have an influence on and interact with one another. Light requires space to illuminate; light requires space to receive it; and light inside space changes human experience. They are related in the same way that individuals require bread and a place to sleep.
