Abstract:

Space is a kind of limitation that human being realize in a natural environment to an aim oriented, a kind of artificial metamorphosis, an installation that express the social organization. The space that designed is evaluated as a shell to express the concept which is created in mind as functional and symbolical. In space designing interior space and the shell which is the reflection of that volume are consist of the fact that to complete each other. The choice and application of all the elements which compose the concept of the space such as color, texture, material are the result of thinking with spatial identity. One of the most important fact is the lighting in spatial installation. In industrial societies, daily time spent indoors increases gradually. In line with this increase, the need for artificial lighting has augmented. The concept of illumination is very strong exposition tool with the features of to determination, emphasize, limitation, provides the perception of third dimension. Apart from its use to enable seeing, artificial lightning has other effects that could not be overlooked. It has grade importance to perceive spatial characteristics and to remember them. The user depends on the form of space, illumination in space and the properties of lighting system that is used in space when giving a meaning to the space. The designs that are aware of the effects of architectural lighting other than the visual would affect, in addition to visual performance, the spatial perception and psychology of people who spend most of their time indoors with artificial lighting. Therefore, the issue should be tackled in multidisciplinary terms by conceiving lighting a part of design. This study seeks to draw attention to the uses of architectural lighting beyond its practical effect on seeing.
