Kompakte, systematische Einführung in die Grundlagen der Tages- und Kunstlichtplanung Mehr als jedes verwendete Material bestimmt das Licht Raumwirkungen, erzeugt Stimmungen, inszeniert Architektur. In gut belichteten Räumen fühlen wir uns wohl und sind leistungsfähig, Licht fördert die Gesundheit. Darüber hinaus trägt eine sinnvolle Tages- und darauf abgestimmte Kunstlichtplanung - gerade in Bürogebäuden - wesentlich zur Energieeinsparung bei. Zusammengestellt von erfahrenen Fachautoren aus Praxis und Lehre, bietet der neue Band der Reihe Detail Praxis wichtige Grundlagen zur Tages- und Kunstlichtplanung. Neben einfachen Planungsregeln wie Grundrissgestaltung, Gebäudeorientierung und Fassadengliederung werden aktuelle Tages- und Kunstlichtsysteme vorgestellt und an Beispielprojekten erläutert.

Daylighting and Integrated Lighting Design provides architects, building designers, and students clear direction for the successful inclusion of daylight and integrated electric light in buildings. It presents design teams with the performance analysis resources, energy saving estimates and user satisfaction results they need in order to make informed decisions regarding daylighting and lighting design. Written by two well-known experts in the field, the book provides: critical geometric and material relationships along with proven design process activities, offered in a quick-reference format, with sufficient context to address the range of associated issues present in any building project both the "fundamentals" and "applications" which cover design concepts and practice activities applicable to all integrated lighting projects specific directives for how the concepts covered are applied in a range of common design scenarios, including architectural rules-of-thumb, instructions for ensuring visual comfort, and preferred approaches for electric lighting control integration. In demonstrating these necessary insights to designers, the authors employ an iterative analysis of common "daylighting patterns" and illustrate and annotate both successful and unsuccessful examples via built form and simulation. Part of the PocketArchitecture series, this is the ideal pocketbook for any designer serious about reducing the energy impact of their buildings.

The lighting designer is at once an artist and an engineer. He uses the best technology available to reveal scope, space, and form?both in landscapes and in urban environments?and aims to do so in a way that achieves a functional, creative, and environmental result. This relatively recent profession is the focus of the latest title in teNeues? Ultimate series. Lighting Design presents an illustrated overview of Herv? Descottes? many projects. Founder of the renowned New York design firm L?Observatoire International, Descottes collaborated with architects such as Frank Gehry (Walt Disney Concert Hall, LA), Mario Botta, Jean Nouvel and OMA/Rem Koolhaas (three museums in Seoul, South Korea), and Richard Meier (Restaurant 66, New York City).
