Abstract: Daylighting in Museums - Case Studies
Matt Franks, ARUP Lighting (USA)
Lighting is one of the most important components in the design of museums. It is critical to provide appropriate light levels and color rendering so that works appear in the best possible manner. Museum designers must also be conscious of conservation issues to avoid damaging artwork from exposure to too much light. Daylight is being utilized in new museums because of its fuller spectrum and color rendering qualities, and the improved visual connection to the surroundings. Daylight must be carefully controlled because of its high light levels and extreme variability. This presentation will discuss several museum projects where daylighting is an integral component, and how Radiance was used to help ensure that daylighting helped provide an improved visual environment while keeping within conservation goals.
