Daylighting: Natural Light in Architecture

(National Geographic (Little) Kids) #1

Residential


The daylighting of residences is perhaps the least difficult problem for
architects, but it becomes more of a problem interpreted by an hotel.
Some of the finest examples of daylighting of homes was during the
modern movement when the new solutions to structural problems
allowed large areas of glazing.


Education


It is in the field of educational buildings that some of the most innovative
daylight solutions have been developed because the education autho-
rities are insistant that in any new buildings for schools and universities
the question of energy savings is fully investigated and solutions
adopted.
