چکیده

We propose an improved method to design freeform reflectors for architectural lighting: one for accent lighting and another for large area wall washing. The designed freeform reflectors effectively distribute light fluxes over the target surfaces, and generate appropriate illumination patterns for comfortable visual environments, which provides greater flexibility for lighting designs, allows many challenging designs, and improves energy-efficiency simultaneously.

Strategy to obtain initial configurations for free form reflectors design

A strategy to obtain sets of initial configuration to design freeform reflector surfaces is presented. This strategy brings the initial configuration of the reflector surface using a collection of elemental facets defined by Bezier surfaces and able to face the optimization process of the illumination system. The purpose of this communication is to provide initial configurations to obtain a set...

Case Studies in Cost-Optimized Paneling of Architectural Freeform Surfaces

Paneling an architectural freeform surface refers to an approximation of the design surface by a set of panels that can be manufactured using a selected technology at a reasonable cost, while respecting the design intent and achieving the desired aesthetic quality of panel layout and surface smoothness. Eigensatz and co-workers [Eigensatz et al. 2010] have recently introduced a computational so...

Construction method of tailored facets for use in freeform reflectors design

Núria Tomás Corominas, Josep Arasa Martí CD6. Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Rambla Sant Nebridi 10 08222 Terrassa [email protected] [email protected] Abstract A construction method to obtain sets of tailored facets to be used as the initial configuration in the design of freeform reflector surfaces is presented. The construction strategy starts from a collection of flat elementary facets a...

Architectural freeform structures from single curved panels

The problem of covering a freeform surface by single curved panels can be treated with the concept of semi-discrete surface representations, which constitute a link between smooth and discrete surfaces. A surface composed from developable strips (called a D-strip model) is the semi-discrete equivalent of a quad mesh with planar faces, or a conjugate parametrization of a smooth surface. Using re...
