Abstract
The report investigates the emerging problem of lacking integrated lighting design solutions in the built environment. Moreover, how the transdisciplinary lighting design approach can be integrated into the everyday workflow of architecture. Initially both the lighting design process model, and the architectural workflow is studied, that is resulting in the development of a research question, together with success criteria for the upcoming model. These are forming the base for the architectural-lighting model. The architectural-lighting model is a merged model, integrating the transdisciplinary lighting practice, phase by phase into the architectural workflow, simultaneously describing all services that can be expected at each construction phase. The process model is created after the principals of research-based design practices, and therefore ensures that all lighting solutions developed through the model are traceable and evaluated through academic testing. Nonetheless, the model secures a holistic lighting design solution, through its transdisciplinary layout, working over the fields of Social Science, Natural Science and Humanities and Arts. The final architectural-lighting model is tested through a case study, where the functionality of the model is evaluated. Possibilities for future work are discussed in the report as well.
