The architecture concept can have a significant impact on building lighting. The design of a building can dictate the amount of natural light that enters the space, the shape and size of windows and skylights, and the position of rooms in relation to the sun's path.
Architectural concepts such as the use of glass facades or open-floor plans can allow for more natural light and reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day. On the other hand, buildings with small windows or those designed to maximize privacy may require more artificial lighting.
The style and mood of a building can also influence the type of lighting used. For example, a modern, minimalist building may benefit from simple and sleek lighting fixtures, while a historic building may require more decorative and ornate lighting. The use of color, texture, and material in architectural design can also affect the choice of lighting to create a harmonious and complementary atmosphere.
Ultimately, the architecture concept can play a crucial role in determining the lighting needs of a building and how they are placed and used to enhance the functionality, aesthetics, and energy efficiency of the space.
