Innovating the Lighting Design Process: Computational Tools to Illuminate and Empower Architecture
Our design community has benefited greatly from advancements in computational analysis and workflows over recent years.
Parametric architecture has since entered an entirely new realm of possibilities and has redefined our broader practice.
Advanced daylighting and energy modeling processes have equally boosted the relevance of computation in the lighting
industry as software continues to push the boundaries for diverse analysis. Traditional lighting analysis allows for simulation
and mock-up of only a single architectural option at a time, limiting its impact on the vast range of possibilities that is the
design space.
There is an opportunity to integrate iterative and flexible geometry with validated lighting software to quickly explore
undiscovered lighting solutions at every step in the design process. The integration of these processes allows for a new
partnerships between architect and lighting designer to illuminate designs previously left in the dark.
