Light


 * Light And Texture **

= ·  **Have you ever thought about the effects that light and texture can produce in the perception people have of a place? **= =Yes, the effects of light and texture were something that I percept when I start reading and looking for some architectural design. Those elements definitely represent an important aspect that any construction design has to take care because of the many advantages that they offer, like highlight important places and make structures look more pleasant. Those effects vary depending of the weather, for example, the perception will not be the same if the day is sunny, rainy or cloudy. = = = = =

=  · **Can electric lighting affect what we "see" as the colors of an object? **= =Yes, the use of electric lighting affects what we see, because it increases or decreases the color value of the things. Also it can depends of the kind of light that we use; if we use a white light there would be less possibilities to affect the colors value because it is similar to the nature light. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = · **Did you know you can create a series of sensations and moods of your choice by integrating the concepts of color, light and texture to your designs and plans? ** Well, the use of those elements on our designs and plans is a good tool to make them more attractive; usually people react favorable when they look to a project that use those instruments to be more similar to the reality and shows the benefits caused by light that is something that before only should be appreciated after being constructed. = = = = = = = =

= = · **Do you think light and texture can make a difference in any room setting or in any public place as well? How is that? Think of examples ** =Yes, definitely they can. The use of light and texture can make a difference in any place, especially if near there is any other place using them. The light creates an effect of light and shadows that offers the perception of different and pleasant spaces, revealing forms and making them more attractive, for example, the interventions of Kai Piipo in some places of the European Union, that consist on use light to jut out the nature texture and emphasize its shadows, like in the “Light Road”, “The Light tunnel” and “Catharina”. = = = = = = = = = ___

= = The Light in Our house  Lighting can make a difference in how you feel about your home. Its effects make you feel safe and more comfortable and allow us to enjoy our home. Light adds beauty to a room. It can make a small room looks open and more airy and a large room looks inviting. Also light can make you feel relax after the activities of a long day. It can make a difference between other houses.

Determining our needs light can be adapted to our lifestyle. When planning the lightning there will be some aspects we need to consider like the activities realized on each room, the areas that we want to create and the especial things that we want to emphasize. Also we need to care about that the light can be wasted or absorbed by the colors of the room.

There are three basic types of lighting that work together to light your home general. A good lighting plan combines the three types of light according to functions and style. General lighting provides an area with overall illumination and a comfortable level of brightness.It can be accomplish with ceiling and walls fixtures and outside of our home. The general lighting is fundamental to outlining plan, tax lighting helps us when we are reading, cooking, and others; it can be provided by pendent lighting and portable lamps and also it should be free of distracting shadows. Finally the axing lighting is use to spark over paintings, sculptures, and others. It is provided by tracks and recess.

**My opinion about the video "The Lakehouse"**

After listen the video I consider that the information given is very important and need to be considered at the moment of create a new design. The light is one of the most significant elements on constructions because it gives them some qualities that make people feel different sensations.

This element will not always be the same; it could change depending of the weather and the different geographical conditions that intervene on each place. It is important to study very well the place where we are going to construct just to be sure that we are using correctly and efficiently the light given by nature.
