"Visual Delight in Architecture examines the many ways that our lives are enriched by the presence of natural daylight illumination and window views within our buildings. It makes the case that appropriately timed exposure to daylight is essential to our health and well-being, tied to the very genetic foundations of our physiology and cognitive function. It then goes on to help the reader appreciate the subtlety, beauty and pleasures of well-daylit spaces and attractive window views, and how these are woven into the fabric of our daily sensory experiences, and determined by the design of our buildings, cities, and cultural perspectives. The book is written to engage and challenge a variety of readers, including all forms of building and urban designers, plus anyone interested in human health and wellbeing, from medical researchers to the occupants of all types of buildings. Examples range in detail from common everyday experiences to the latest findings in cognitive research. An important goal of the book is integration across perspectives, such as helping designers to become more comfortable with the scientific basis of their work, and scientists more curious about the design implications of their research" [Publisher]

A concise, systematic introduction to natural and artificial lighting design More than any building material, light produces spatial effects, generates moods, and "stages" architectural designs. In well-lit spaces, we feel good, and we are capable and effective; light promotes health. Moreover, especially in office buildings, the combination of a sensible natural lighting design with a corresponding approach to artificial lighting is a decisive factor in energy conservation. Assembled by experienced authors and experts from the worlds of practice and teaching, this new volume in the series Detail Practice provides an introduction to the most important aspects of natural and artificial lighting design. In addition to straightforward planning rules - such as ground plan design, building orientation, and the structuring of facades - it also introduces and explains current natural and artificial lighting systems with the help of example projects. Kompakte, systematische Einführung in die Grundlagen der Tages- und Kunstlichtplanung Mehr als jedes verwendete Material bestimmt das Licht Raumwirkungen, erzeugt Stimmungen, inszeniert Architektur. In gut belichteten Räumen fühlen wir uns wohl und sind leistungsfähig, Licht fördert die Gesundheit. Darüber hinaus trägt eine sinnvolle Tages- und darauf abgestimmte Kunstlichtplanung - gerade in Bürogebäuden - wesentlich zur Energieeinsparung bei.Zusammengestellt von erfahrenen Fachautoren aus Praxis und Lehre, bietet der neue Band der Reihe Detail Praxis wichtige Grundlagen zur Tages- und Kunstlichtplanung. Neben einfachen Planungsregeln wie Grundrissgestaltung, Gebäudeorientierung und Fassadengliederung werden aktuelle Tages- und Kunstlichtsysteme vorgestellt und an Beispielprojekten erläutert.
