The aim of the course is to provide basic tools and methods for assessing both quantity and quality of daylight in the process of making (architecture). How we perceive daylight in a space is tightly related to our behaviour, our sense of well-being — and our health, and a conscious use of daylight in architecture is necessary to both save resources and use our free resources in a meaningful way. The course will focus on the technical and the phenomenological approaches to daylight with the ambition of bridging the gap between science and art of building.
The objective is to increase awareness and knowledge about how the specific climate and context in the Nordic countries affect daylight conditions in our buildings and a wider quest for higher precision in the use daylight in architecture at northern latitudes.
