Daylightful indoors – what we see and what we perceive
Natural light greatly impacts how a building is experienced by its occupants. It affects their well-being, notably from their health and biological clock perspectives, but also their perceived visual and thermal comfort, or their emotional response. Welcome to a seminar with Professor Marilyne Andersen from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The seminar will explore current research efforts aiming towards a deeper integration of daylighting performance and indoor comfort in design, by reaching out to various fields of science, from chronobiology and neuroscience to psychophysics and computer graphics to support the design of places of delightful – and daylightful – living.
About the presenter: Marilyne Andersen is a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland and Head of the Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Design (LIPID). With a background in physics, her research focuses on performance as a driver for design with an emphasis on daylight. She was previously a professor at MIT, and has been the Dean of the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering at EPFL. She was the inaugural laureate of the Daylight Research Award in 2016 and is the co-founder of the consulting startup OCULIGHT dynamics.
It is an open seminar for all who are interested.
The seminar is in English.
It is free of charge. Registration is required, please register here.
The seminar is arranged by Centre for Healthy Indoor Environments (CHIE)
