The shift to Human Centric Lighting (HCL)
LED lighting and new sensors make it possible to dynamically change the spectrum (and intensity) of the emitted light. In addition, recent scientific literature shows that light can have an influence (both positive and negative) on ...
Hospital buildings tend to be experienced by patients from a, for architects, atypical perspective, namely lying in a hospital bed. This altered perspective has a significant impact on patients’ spatial experience. Gaining insight into this experience is for most architects not trivial, but crucial if they are to design truly patient-centred hospitals.
This PhD research started from a twofold aim. The first aim was to gain insight into ...
The SIP programme with the University of the Western Cape continues on a path of reciprocity in exchange, focusing on research capacity and mutual learning. The focus continues to be on the initiation and support for joint doctoral projects which are shaped around discipline-anchored research themes and foster the relevance of strategic N/S-capacity in a context of globalisation. The envisaged programme is committed to continuing and ...
RESPONSIVE SPACES
