Inside-out daylight

Oral presentation

Daylight has been a driver of urban and architectural form across climates. In the past century, metrics were introduced to describe performance such as minimum sunlight hours and the daylight factor. Means of assessment and related requirements were introduced in different contexts for sunlight/daylight. Some methods aimed to bridge the gap between inside-out such as the Vertical Sky...

Inside-out daylight

Oral presentation

Sports facilities have a crucial social, cultural, and morphological role in urbanization, in terms of indoor and outdoor spaces. The roots of sports go back to the Greek games. The purpose of these games was physical activity and mental cultivation and was associated with geographical conditions where sunshine and climate were operative. Over time daylight in sports started to become less...

Inside-out daylight

Oral presentation

The correct use of natural lighting will depend on the study of the natural and urban conditions of a region. One of the main variables that determine the availability of natural light in a site is cloudiness, under each different type of condition of sky its dynamics will be different, identifying the frequency of this phenomenon and the predominant type of sky of a site, it is possible to...

13. Aperture-Based Daylight Modelling: Forging the Link Between Inside-Outside Daylight Evaluation

Mardaljevic, John (Loughborough University)

Inside-out daylight

Oral presentation

The process that leads to the initial conception of the shape, form and size of a building (i.e. massing) is usually the starting point of an architectural design: the building is designed from the outside-in. Commonly used guidelines refer to quantities such as the vertical sky component determined at a point on the building envelope. Similarly for sunlight, the evaluation is carried out at...

23. Intermediate Environments and Restorativeness: the role of view and daylight

Russo, Filomena (University of Cambridge)

Inside-out daylight

Oral presentation

BACKGROUND
The restorativeness potential of Intermediate Environments (IE) is the focus of this research. IE range from courtyards, arcades, balconies to window-seats, offering retreat to the interior and contact with the exterior. IE promote prospect and refuge, with shelter, safety, diverse controllable environmental conditions, adaptable sociability, and relaxation opportunities....
