I enjoyed Dr. Shauna Malory-Hill’s presentation and felt that all of the information she presented was very useful. The points that I found the most interesting was the importance of designing spaces that are able to adjust our eyes appropriately. She outlined the importance of designing lighting in the interior that will allow the eyes to adjust.
It was nice to learn the difference between sunlight and daylight and I am happy that I learned this before I was put into a situation where I used the wrong term and embarrassed myself… I also found it very useful to be introduced to the different lighting sources. In all honesty I find the warm light that is emitted from incandescent bulbs to be the most flattering, but I am coming around to the high efficiency LED lighting of the future. I find it quite odd to think that future generations may not ever see the light incandescent bulbs emit.
I found that the presentation on ‘light carving’ shed a new light (excuse the pun) on the design process. Designing spaces to interact with natural light, while at the same time not inhibit others from doing the same is very important. I found it very motivating to see a masters level student experimenting with this sort of challenge. Being at this level where everything seems challenging and somewhat overwhelming it’s inspiring to know that at some point in our career we will be able to focus our time and research on something hat really inspires and interests us. The idea of light-carving is unique and interesting and being shown an example of existing software definitely excites me for the possibilities that lie in the future of my design career.
