Abstract

The light exercises indeed a very significant influence on whole biological parameters of people, as matter of fact it influences: - By means of human sight, the light organizes the relationship between men and both living and lifeless all creation in its entirely. - The releasing into the human body of hormonal substances, such as melatonin and cortisol, are influenced by the light that, consequently, influences the well- being status of people such as body temperature, alertness and so on. - The alternating of daytime and nighttime, that is the alternating of light and darkness, sets significantly the so called “biological clock” of man. According to that previously reported, light has a direct and significant impact on the behavior of people. So, while the emphasis in the past may have been primarily focused on the visual effects of lighting, the present efforts of research are focused on discover the biological effects. The “Dynamic lighting” is an advanced technique that try to bring the dynamic of daylight in indoor environments to the aim to create a stimulating “natural” light that may enhances people’s sense of well-being. According to this objective, the Authors have applied, using a specialist software, the dynamic light technique to a model of minimalistic architecture used as offices, museum and exhibitions halls. By the previous technique, people could control their own space according to their needs, mood and task, creating the right atmosphere by “dynamic light” to improve performance and motivation of their own job. The paper wants to show the first step of results obtained in the case study by technical solutions suggested
