Natural light can be integrated into architectural ordonnance in the following ways:
1. Orientation of the building: The orientation of the building should be done in a way that sunlight can enter the building. North-facing windows are ideal for providing uniform natural light throughout the day.
2. Use of skylights: Skylights are a great way to bring natural light into a building. They can be installed on the roof or on a wall, and they allow sunlight to enter the building from above.
3. Use of large windows: Large windows can be used to bring in natural light. They can be designed to provide a panoramic view and allow sunlight to penetrate deep inside the building.
4. Use of shading devices: Shading devices such as louvers and blinds can be used to control the amount of sunlight entering the building. They can be designed to allow diffused light to enter while blocking direct sunlight.
5. Use of reflective surfaces: Reflective surfaces can be used to increase the amount of natural light inside the building. They can be used on walls, ceilings, and floors to bounce sunlight around the interior space.
6. Use of interior glazing: Interior glazing can be used to bring natural light into interior spaces, such as corridors and stairwells. It allows sunlight to flow through the building, providing a sense of openness and connection between different areas.
