Over the last hundred years, people have radically altered the appearance of the night sky. The development of industry, change in lifestyle and mass consumption depending on time of day – have all contributed to the loss of natural darkness in vast areas of our planet. The studies conducted so far indicate that lighting installations visible after dark negatively impact flora and fauna.
The Value Of Less Light – Sustainable Architectural Lighting Design, Karolina M. Zielinska-Dabkowska
The Value Of Less Light – Sustainable Architectural Lighting Design, Karolina M. Zielinska-Dabkowska
Dr. Karolina M. Zielinska-Dabkowska, IALD, IES, CIE, RIBA
Since its beginning, the art of external illumination has substantially influenced the creation and the perception of architecture and the night-time urban environment. In this paper, the author examines and defines the significant interdisciplinary conditions related to architectural lighting design that have evolved over the years, starting from the first simple exterior lighting projects to the more modern, complex concepts of illumination.

Research about the impact of age on the perception of light quality by Dr. Karolina M. Zielinska - Dabkowska and Veronika Labancová of the University of Applied Sciences, Technology, Business and Design Wismar/ Germany.
Techniques For Enhancement And Visual Change. Understanding The Experience And Effects Of Lighting Design, Karolina M. Zielinska
Techniques For Enhancement And Visual Change. Understanding The Experience And Effects Of Lighting Design, Karolina M. Zielinska
Dr. Karolina M. Zielinska-Dabkowska, IALD, IES, CIE, RIBA
There are many different ways to illuminate a building: from behind or in front, from the side, or from above or below. The job of the lighting designer is to develop the optimum lighting solution in line with the architect’s intention for every individual project. Apart from the way the luminaires are focussed, there are a number of other factors that play a significant role: surface materials, the colour temperature of the light sources and coloured light.

With the advent of electricity and electrically activated light sources, work has become increasingly independent of daylight. This move towards artificial light sources has led to the alienation of our natural predetermined circadian rhythms and has been imbibed so well in our daily lives that it appears that we have forgotten previous diurnal cycles. And yet, despite numerous technical innovations and developments, daylight is still preferred to artificial light – a fact that continues to baffle many experienced lighting specialists, especially those with an engineering background.
