LUX LEVEL REGULATION & LUX METRES SUMMRIZE After physical models I realised that the main dining space was too dark, in order to achieve a wide open and bright main dining space with no barrier inside, I decided to change my main finish material from light blocking timber to thranslucent polycabonate to encreace the day light income.

Now the main space under the canopy is very bright, so next step maight be thinking about how to deal with the overheating problem , which may be solved from enhancing natural ventilation. On the other side the rigid timer box-like rooms are quite dark, maybe some artificial lighting should be applied there.

Overall, I wanted to create a bright and clear space, so I choose to achieve the highest level within the range of regulation,. And by the support of light study I made it.

DIFFRENCE BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL STUDY After using both lighting study methods, I learned that using digital model is a great way to modofy lighting conditions, because it is really convenient to change and adjust materials and colour to fit your design aims.

Moreover, when compareing thr required lux level according to regulation, it’s insifficient by only using physical models and natrual lighting. Artifitical light may be needed. Ofcourse there is one easier way to do it , thats digital modeling.

But physical model testing ihas its own advantags such as authenticity, easier to understand and control as its ocular. So we should combine both methods to reach our design aims.
