Each student will find an image of different spaces that include at least one example of commercial (educational / corporate office / restaurant / hospitality / retail) and one example of residential (home / apartment / sorority or fraternity house).
Part 1
Identify the different types of luminaires and lighting layers seen in the image selected. The space may include more than one of the items on the list below; for example, you may find an image of an office with a luminaire that provides direct, ambient light as well as a second luminaire that provides task lighting. Or there may be only one luminaire/lighting layer visible.
Sample Solution
Choose a sample of interior finish material and photograph the sample in five different spaces. Photograph the sample in four different spaces within your home – Living Area, Kitchen, Bathroom, and Sleeping Area – with a fifth photograph taken outside. Identify the luminaire, lighting layer, and lamp installed, or the quality of outdoor lighting (sunny, cloudy, etc.)
A narrative (summarized in one paragraph) must accompany each photograph in Parts 1 and 2. For images of the overall space, the narrative should explain how the lighting component was used in the space.For images of the sample seen under different lamps, the narrative should explain color change (if any) in the image compared to the actual sample, and how this will influence color selection for a specific project.
Part 2
• Choose a sample of interior finish material and photograph the sample in five different spaces. Photograph the sample in four different spaces within your home – Living Area, Kitchen, Bathroom, and Sleeping Area – with a fifth photograph taken outside. Identify the luminaire, lighting layer, and lamp installed, or the quality of outdoor lighting (sunny, cloudy, etc.)
The sample could be fabric, plastic laminate, carpeting, tile, granite, or other item. The goal is to notice the change in the appearance of the sample when seen under different lighting conditions. Make sure the sample is clearly visible so any changes in appearance can be seen in the photograph.
Part 3
• A narrative (summarized in one paragraph) must accompany each photograph in Parts 1 and 2. For images of the overall space, the narrative should explain how the lighting component was used in the space. For images of the sample seen under different lamps, the narrative should explain color change (if any) in the image compared to the actual sample, and how this will influence color selection for a specific project.
