Dynamic and Diffuse Light
In our previous blog of Nature in the Space we understood that how sun distinctly changes the light and shadow that stimulates our mood in a positive way. Let me just make it simple for you to understand when we go to buy a house the first thing which comes in our mind is the daylighting of the house.
Our eyes is always looking for huge window openings, cross ventilations and a beautiful view from the window as it fulfils our requirement of seeing the task and space well without using electric lighting.
With an efficient daylight, we can reduce the usage of artificial lighting that helps us to be fruitful, calm, healthier and cheerful. We also save a lot on our electricity cost. The play of light and shadow provide users with lighting options that stimulate the eye and hold attention in a manner that engenders a positive psychological or physiological response, and to help maintain circadian system functioning.
In our built environment it can be achieved with placing windows, skylights and various reflective surfaces that brings the daylighting in the space. With proper distribution of light and projecting pattern it on the surfaces from the fixture diffuse lighting can be designed, as the dispersion of the light creates a stimulating effect on our eye.
Another method to adapt this principle in a constructive way is to use task and accent lighting. It provides a comfortable brightness and creates a visual interest that improves the atmosphere in the space. In accent light adding the dimmers can help you create the nature occurring changes of daylight from light to dark.
Moreover incorporating these designs in built environment is to balance the nature with some visual complexity. By creating skylight covered with foliage or a diverse pattern to showcase the shadow patterns on the floor of the space.
Creating a diffuse pattern on windows with wood fencing or frosted film patterns in geometric or organic form that reflects the light and shadow in a particular pattern in the ambience and fill the space with unique nature’s creative design.
It plays a major role in the education sector as it works best with brain’s ability to focus, improves the behavior and the learners progress well in a brightly lit classroom. Even in a workplace it helps in increased concentration and productivity and enhances the mood and energy of the people working in that environment.
Next time before you buy a space for your office or home, consider the effects of Dynamic and Diffuse Light and improve your well being and live a healthy life.
