β¦ Synopsis
In this planning guide, the renowned lighting designer Ulrike Brandi
documents the sum of her findings on the topics of lighting design,
daylight, sustainability and healthy living spaces.
The
implementation of holistic lighting design in times of advancing
mechanisation is a challenge, but also the right step towards
sustainability in the use of light and energy. This attitude is made
clear by the renowned lighting designer Ulrike Brandi with the sentence
"It is better to plan well with daylight from the beginning than to add
artificial light afterwards".
The LIGHT NATURE ARCHITECTURE
guide proves how important, but also how easy it is to integrate natural
light into planning and thus into the design of healthy and beneficial
living and working environments.
The richly illustrated manual is
structured according to the phenomena of natural light and combines the
author`s wealth of experience, theoretical principles and design methods
to create a reference work and a diverse source of inspiration.
- Richly illustrated basic work for holistic lighting design
- Insight into the extensive practical experience of the renowned lighting designer Ulrike Brandi
- Source of inspiration for professional planners and laymen
- Available in English and German
