Between Research and Practice
Summary:
This paper investigates the effectiveness of two different atria typologies in two LEED campus buildings from both building performance and occupants’ perspectives, focusing on how the shape, form, orientation, and geometry of the two atria impacted daylighting autonomy, glare, chronobiological light response, occupants’ perceptions, and functional use of both spaces.
Categories
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the impact of different atria designs on daylight availability and the potential for optimizing these designs to balance daylight quantity and quality.
- Well-being: The paper explores the relationship between atrium design and occupant well-being, including comfort, health, and experience.
- Education and learning: The paper focuses on two educational buildings and how their atrium designs impact the learning environment.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper indirectly discusses this category by mentioning the impact of daylight on productivity and the potential for atrium design to enhance this.
