Abstract
Specialet undersøger et voksende problem: mangel på integrerede løsninger for lysdesign i det byggede miljø. Det ser også på, hvordan en transdisciplinær tilgang til lysdesign kan indgå i arkitekturens daglige arbejdsgange. Først gennemgås både den typiske lysdesignproces og den arkitektoniske workflow. På den baggrund formuleres et forskningsspørgsmål og succeskriterier, som danner grundlag for en arkitektur–lys-model. Modellen er en samlet, faseopdelt proces, der integrerer lyspraksis i hver fase af arkitektarbejdet og samtidig beskriver, hvilke ydelser der kan forventes i hver byggefase. Modellen er udviklet efter principper for forskningsbaseret designpraksis, hvilket sikrer, at de lysløsninger, der skabes gennem modellen, er sporbare og kan evalueres gennem akademiske test. Den transdisciplinære opbygning—der trækker på samfundsvidenskab, naturvidenskab samt humaniora og kunst—skal sikre helhedsorienterede lysdesignløsninger. Modellens funktionalitet afprøves i et casestudie, og rapporten drøfter også muligheder for fremtidigt arbejde.
The thesis addresses a growing issue: the lack of integrated lighting design solutions in the built environment. It also explores how a transdisciplinary approach to lighting design can be embedded in the everyday workflow of architecture. The study begins by reviewing both the typical lighting design process and the standard architectural workflow. Based on this review, a research question and success criteria are defined, which guide the development of an architectural–lighting model. This combined, phase-by-phase process weaves lighting practice into each stage of architectural work and specifies the lighting-related services that can be expected at every construction phase. The model is created using research-based design practices, ensuring that lighting solutions produced through it are traceable and can be evaluated through academic testing. Because it is transdisciplinary—drawing on social sciences, natural sciences, and the humanities and arts—the model supports holistic lighting design solutions. The final model is examined through a case study to evaluate its functionality. The report also discusses possibilities for future work.
