lighting plays a key role in night escapes of urban spaces, in a way that it can be effective in giving identity to them. by considering this importance and inexistence of a process for composing urban lighting strategy made this study to be conducted by the objective of providing process for compilation of context-oriented lighting strategy in urban spaces. reaching a suitable solution for lig...

well-designed lighting decreases accidents and diseases of eyes and can increase productivity and concentration. increase of energy price and a high proportion of electric lighting energy consumption in buildings due to defects in designing and maintenance led to desirable lighting to be reduced. one of our challenges in providing health and quality of lighting is lack of economic justification...

background understanding environmental factors affecting the educational process and including them in educational planning will lead into increased outcome of education, mental health, reduced stress, and higher education performance. this study was conducted to investigate the impact of educational spaces coloring on learning and academic achievement of elementary school students in the acade...

We present a simple system for interactively specifying lighting parameters, including position, for high-quality image synthesis. Unlike inverse approaches to the lighting-design problem, we do not require the user to indicate a priori the desired illuminative characteristics of an image. In our approach the computer proposes, culls, and organizes a set of candidate lights automatically, using...

Consideration to the natural elements, such as daylighting, at the earliest in the architectural design process is suggested by many as necessary for sustainable buildings. The implementation of a successful daylighting strategy in the design of buildings improves spatial quality and saves energy required, otherwise, for artificial lighting. Daylighting becomes a design mandate in the case of c...

sociability of educational spaces is crucial to the quality of education because a major part of learning takes place through attending public spaces, acting in spaces, social interaction with peers, and collective life in public spaces. sociability provides for the users’ social needs. the present study seeks to explore the development of sociability in educational spaces through increasing op...
