Abstract
Det funktionalistiske paradigme har hjulpet os til god visuel ydeevne og en god forståelse for visuelt ubehag, mens de seneste bidrag inden for naturvidenskab har givet os en større forståelse af sundhedssfaktorer, især hvad angår cirkadisk belysning. Begge perspektiver er kvantificerbare og kan derfor bruges i designkriterier, hvilket giver et måleligt økonomisk argument for at implementere disse funktioner i lysdesign produkter. Er det alt der er at skabe god belysning i dit hjemsted? Disse funktioner kan i bedste fald efterlade en upåvirket, da de tager ikke hensyn til det subjektive menneskes følelsesmæssige, kulturelle og sociale forhold til belysning. Selvom disse kan findes i nogle sparsomme kvalitative undersøgelser af boligbelysning, kan vanskeligheden med at måle dem gøre det svært at komme på dagsordenen for designkriterier. En evaluering af, hvilke værdier design-kriterierne hviler på i dag og dens historiske spor, gør det muligt for denne undersøgelse at revurdere og gennem tværfaglig undersøgelse med de involverede praksisområder foreslå nye værdier og visioner som grundlag for fremtidig boligbelysning. Denne afhandling foreslår, at kriteriet for bolig-belysningsdesign skal være co-shaped gennem pragmatiske designspil af de involverede professioner. Disse spil bør baseres på værdier af de kendte funktions- og sundhedsperspektiver, men også ved at inddrage beboeren som en aktiv del af belysning, som former atmosfæren med hjælp af lys, styret af følelser og deres sociale og kulturelle perspektiver. Dette er et forsøg på at revurdere de underliggende værdier for lys i hjemmets design-kriterier. Men det er lige så meget en indsats for at skabe processen, hvorigennem det kan ske, og hvor designkriterier kan blive co-shaped fra disse. En proces, hvor de involverede professioner kan give slip på deres lokaliserede, indlejrede og investerede viden og finde pragmatisk anvendelse af hinandens specifikke viden og derved co-shape en bedre værdi base for design af lys i hjemmet og en visionær retning for design kriterier.
The functionalist paradigm has given us good visual performance, and a great understanding of visual discomfort, while recent contributions in the field of natural sciences have given us a greater understanding of the health issues, especially regarding circadian lighting. Both perspectives are quantifiable and therefore can be used in design criteria, giving a measurable economic argument for implementing certain features in lighting design products. Is that all there is to creating good lighting in your residency? These features can at its best leave the resident indifferent, but they do not take into account the subjective human’s emotional, cultural and social relation to lighting. Even though these can be found in some sparse qualitative studies on residential lighting, the difficulty in measuring them can make it hard to get on the agenda of design criteria. An evaluation of what values design criteria rests upon today, and its historical traces, makes it possible for this study to reevaluate, and through transdisciplinary inquiry with the involved communities of practice, propose new values and visions as basis for future residential lighting. This thesis proposes that residential lighting design criteria should be co-shaped through pragmatic design games by the involved communities of practice. These games should be based on values of the known functional and health perspectives but also through inclusion of the resident as an active part of lighting, which shapes the atmosphere with the help of light, guided by emotion and their social and cultural perspectives. This is an effort to reevaluate the underlying values of design criterias. But it is just as much an effort in creating the process through which it can happen, and how design criteria can be co-shaped from these. A process where the involved communities of practice can see through their localized, embedded and invested knowledge and find pragmatic application of each other’s specific knowledge, and thereby co-shape a better value base for residential lighting design and a visionary direction for residential lighting design criteria.
