By placing SE facing vertical skylight and clear glaze, we can create a dramatic stair hall space . This strategy can also reduce the heat load compared to the horizontal skylight. The SW facing side light will additionally provide light to the upper stair hall. By implementing these strategies, we think the stair hall will be a fun spot to watch light move around the space. The stair hall will receive suitable daylight all year.

Hide & Seek – Kindergarten Lighting Design 3 Nov.4.2015-DEC.4.2015 USC ARCH577 Instructor: Lauren Dandridge Gaines Individual Work
Research & Concept
& Hide visual harm, seek for fun! Lighting affects the aesthetics of the room as well as the visual acuity and mental health of the occupants. The major occupants in the kindergarten , students age between 5 to 7 years old, are still under the development of vision. Their visual systems are relatively vulnerable. So I set the ocular health as primary consideration in design process. Based on the research done by National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care and Early Education (CFOC).Several standards should be adopted for healthy lighting environment in kindergarten: 1, Introduce natural lighting through windows installed at child’s eye level. 2, Provide adequate illumination by natural or artificial lighting for facility activities. For example: a. Close work surface( reading, painting) : 50 to 100 foot-candles . b. Work and Play surface : 30 to 50 foot-candles . c. Stairs, walkways, landings, driveways, entrances: at least 20 foot-candles on the surface d. Sleeping and napping areas: no more than five foot-candles during sleeping or napping 3,Create glare free environment and soft the lighting environment. a. Low contrast more ambient light. b. Take advantage of indirect light. 4, Create an antiseptic environment both for teacher’s caring and children’s working. a. Neutral light color temperature b. CRI 80+
“ Creating good lighting is not just a matter of having ‘enough’ lighting . . . . Good lighting is ultimately a matter of achieving a desired look and feel.” Kindergarten is the spaces that links the young children to the world. Light can help to illustrate the “world” they are going to explore. So my secondary consideration is curiosity and activity of the young age. A tapestry of light and dark areas in rooms and buildings adds to their comfort, interest, and spirit of place. How can light attract children to feel, touch and play ? How can light enhance children’s learning experience. The following techniques has been considered: 1, Integrated lighting with architecture, use light to provide definition and relationship of object and people. 2, Embodied lighting with learning experience of color, shape, texture and so on. 3, Facilitate special orientation, draw people together, affect people’s attention, behavior, and their impressions of spaciousness or enclosure.

Control Plan
Control Plan are embodied with consideration for multi-function and energy saving. 1.Daylight harvest and occupancy sensing Classroom task lightings in primary daylight zone are connected with daylight sensor to automatically dim the light. Classroom task lightings are connected with occupancy sensor to turn off/on light to save energy. 2.General Mode & Audio/Visual Mode Classroom task lightings is in different control group with accent and ambient layer lighting .Teacher can turn off and dim the task lighting when using Audio / Visual teaching facilities.

& Night – Socio-Lighting Dynamic Research 5Day FEB.13.2015-FEB.23.2015 USC ARCH542bL
Project Location : Vermont Ave.( W Manchester Ave. to Wilshire Blvd.),Los Angeles , CA, USA Instructor: Alison Hirsch Individual Work , AutoCAD, Photoshop,Rhino. The diversity of lightingscape is remarkable in LA. In this research project , I conducted survey along Vermont Ave. It is one of the busiest commercial corridor in LA. Compared with Korean town in the north, there are significantly fewer shadows in the day in South LA. However at night the South part is embraced by unsafe darkness and northern Korean town is substantially lightened up with various light source. Such contrast suggests the potentials of re-framing the lighting environment of South Vermont Ave to provide better public space.
I divide the street into four types of space based pedestrian experience of shadow and lighting. Which are curb edge, sidewalk,threshold(building Facade) and block. By categorizing the size and types of shadows in the day and lighting space at night in those area, I got the slices of the “comfortable tunnel “ along Vermont Ave. In other words, the “comfortable tunnel” is the pathway with cool shadows in the day or enough lighting at night. Those tunnels are significantly larger and continuous in north and disconnected and narrow in south.

Solar Envelope & Solar Fan
Summarizing of the research of day and night lighting environment along Vermont Ave, we can take advantage of the solar energy and improve the public environment. In this way a solar powered infrastructure would be an ideal choice by which we can make use of natural and artificial lighting to create an intriguing public space for local residents. The whole framework is called solar incubator because it functioned as the platform for growing the lively community life. The design of the infrastructure emploies the passive lighting design strategy. The tools of solar envelope and solar fan ensure the amount of sunshine exposure of the infrustructure.

In this phase, we focus on the proposal for the crossing at W Manchester Ave and Vermont Ave. Within the concept of solar powered infrastructure framework , this crossing functions as the identity of the new sustainable community life. The story of natural lighting and artificial lighting are braided into details.
