Daylight and Artificial Light:
Daylight as Standard |
|
 |
Daylight is our model because evolution
has deeply rooted the characteristics of
daylight in our physical and psychological
fundamental philosophy and ways of
life. Light produces a balance between
the body and soul because according to
new discoveries, light not only controls
vision but also metabolic processes that
are relevant to our health and mental
condition. This occurs with the aid of the
dynamic mixture of all daylight-relevant
characteristics such as:
- Illuminance
- Radiant intensity
- Direction of light and shadow factor
- Direct and reflective glare
- Light colour and reproduction of colour
- Dynamic progress depending on
the place, weather as well as the
time of year and day |

These properties are supplemented
with the natural model of light that has
influenced our sense of perception for
thousands of years. The incidence of
light always occurs across a large
surface with high components of
vertical illumination and the light is
always concentrated in the upper half
of the room. This situation is constant
during the night. Therefore, it is our
goal to produce artificial illumination
that emulates the characteristics of
natural light as perfectly as possible.
