Project 2: Integration Project

After the analysis and evaluation in the first project, I am able to apply the theory into the Design Studio project at design phase to understand the lighting design best. From this project, I am aware about PSALI system when design the spaces in the building to achieve sustainability and energy efficiency. The project helped me to develop knowledge and informed about the lighting design in the building with different requirement and conditions.

Project 1: Lighting & Acoustic Performance Evaluation and Design

The first project of the Building Science 2 module, our group were assigned to a site chosen to carried out analysis on the lighting and acoustic evaluation analysis. The tasks applied lighting and acoustical knowledge learnt in the semester into practical use.

Where Else Cafe was chosen as the study subject for its unique colour and settings of the place which is unusual among cafe. The site makes it an interesting experience on analysis due to the richness of lighting and acoustical device implemented in the building.

By learning the analytical skills of lighting and acoustic, our group are able to understand better how the lighting and acoustic works in a space which will further develop our design skills and knowledge. The project is beneficial to the understanding of spaces and behavior of people which leads to different needs of lighting and acoustic in a space. I learnt to be informed about the situation and activities of the space which leads to different settings of a space. Thus, better implementation of lighting and acoustic can be used in the future for design or renovation of a space.
