BUILDING SCIENCE 2 [ARC 3413] : Project 1 [Lighting & Acoustic Performance Evaluation and Design]

Project 1 [Lighting & Acoustic Performance Evaluation and Design]

FOODSBURY cafe, SEKSYEN 9, SHAH ALAM

Lighting DESIGN is a primary element in architecture design and interior architecture. Solid volumes,

enclosed spaces, colors and texture can only be appreciated fully when they are imaginatively lit.

Successful buildings are those in which the lighting of the building itself and the lighting of the activities it

contains together make up a unified design concept. This project is design to expose and introduce students

to daylighting and lighting requirement in a suggested space.

In architecture and interior architecture, Acoustic DESIGN is an element which concerned with control of

sound in spaces especially enclosed spaces. The requirement varies in relation to functional spaces

whether it is a cinema, lecture theatre, restaurant and café or acoustical requirements for a meeting room. It

is essential to preserve and enhance the desired sound and to eliminate noise and undesired sound.

Prestigious buildings are those in which the acoustic of the building itself speak of the quality of the building

itself. This project is design to expose and introduce students to acoustic design and acoustical

requirements in a suggested space.

Objectives of Assignment

• To understand the day-lighting & lighting and acoustic characteristics & acoustic requirement in a

suggested space.

• To determine the characteristics and function of day-lighting & artificial lighting and sound &

acoustic within the intended space.

• To critically report and analyse the space.

Learning Outcomes

• Able to produce a complete documentation on analysis of space in relation to lighting requirement

eg. natural and artificial lighting. (Pictures, sketches and drawing) and analysis of factors which

effects the lighting design of a space.

• Explore and apply understanding of building physic eg. Lighting towards building / construction

technology and building materials on existing building projects.

• Able to evaluate and explore the improvisation by using current material and technology in

relevance to present construction industry

• Basic understanding and analysis of lighting layout and arrangements by using certain methods or

calculations eg. Lumen method and PSALI.

• Basic understanding and analysis of acoustic design layout and arrangements by using certain

methods or calculations eg. Reverberation time and sound transmission coefficient.
