Class Reflections, October 9, 2008

Today Dr Shauna Mallory Hill lectured on architectural lighting. I found it most interesting when she spoke of where we live in the world and how developed our world is can change where are eyes are placed on our bodies and if they have moved over time. In Canada the snow gets so bright in the winter that most of us are more likly to wear sunglasses in the winter then the summer. This can also have a effect on how our bodies have shifted over time too protect us from the sun and wind. But our eyes have to adapt to many kinds of light, natural and artifical, natural of course is better for us and our environment but in some cases stores, industry, and schools for example do not use this light.  As we try to protect our environment we must design better buildings that take use of natural light.
