Abstract

In this study, the analysis of the understanding of space under the influence of light was made. The content of the study touched on the effect of light and space on human perception, both architecturally and computationally. The identity that the light adds to the space, the interaction of the material with the light, and the illusory properties of the light are explained. While examining these abstract concepts, the illumination area of the light was calculated with a computational application. The fact that light is one of the most effective elements used in space has revealed the necessity of designing form, material, and lighting together. It is understood that the effect of basic elements that make up space, such as form and material color, can be increased with angular lighting. It has been understood that if a textured surface is illuminated with a directional light, the visual effect of the surface will increase. However, it has been understood that a material with a smooth structure and a material with a rough structure cannot be illuminated with the same lighting method, and this visual effect will create negativity. For original lighting designs, it is necessary to make accented or homogeneous lighting according to the need, and it is possible to provide this with designed-planned lighting.
