Abstract Details

2023, BA, Kent State University, College of Architecture and Environmental Design.
In the spirit of Jun'ichirō Tanizaki’s In Praise of Shadows (1933, translated 1977), this thesis investigates the relationship between light in interior space and human existence and perception. It is an attempt to better understand lighting design on a humanistic, experiential level. Part memoir, part historical account, and part phenomenological meditation, “Atmospheres of Light” aims to capture the elusivity of light, to make sense of the influence it has on human beings in the built environment, and to inspire more thoughtful lighting design.
