Light Distribution and Perceived Spaciousness: Light Patterns in Scale Models

Previous research showed that light distribution can affect the perception of spatial size and shape. However, most studies are limited to quantitative assessment a few scenarios without explaining possible causes behind peoples’ experiences. This exploratory study aimed reveal complex relationships between patterns perceived size, investigate how spaciousness. A qualitative approach was used with pair-wise comparisons systematic visual observations scale models. The confirmed illuminated walls increase Yet, darkness impacts spaciousness as well. Both compound separated zones expand depth, height, or width, depending on interpretation these seen in relation whole context. Furthermore, position areas, placements edge center, may additionally influence size.
