Beskrivelse
The course presents various methodologies to explore, describe and communicate daylight in architecture in relation to humans’ experience of daylit spaces. Daylight is a multifaceted topic that can be analysed through a diversity of disciplines. The course questions how daylight is described. Is it in relation to the geometrical architectural form? In relation to perception? In relation to the construction technology? In relation to a philosophical approach or a cultural meaning of light? During the course the PhD students are encouraged to relate to their own project to the various methodologies presented.Among Nordic architects there is a tradition for strongly believing that the qualities of daylight in architecture have a special and highly estimated role. Both from a cultural point of view as well as an aesthetic approach the daylight is pinpointed as one of the essential parameters in architectural design together with a ‘sense’ of place, the inclusion of materiality and the focus on human scale.
Throughout the course, the pavilion “Poetic Daylight” will work as a tool to observe daylight on site and to explore various methodologies to define and describe it. These methodologies will be unfolded through an interdisciplinary series of lectures by highly esteemed practitioners, theorists and researchers relating to daylight and architecture in a Nordic context. Through the lectures, and a series of appointed texts, a broad approach to defining and describing the experience of daylight in architecture is presented.
The aim of the course is to present a diversity of methodologies investigating daylight in general and more specifically daylight in architecture in a regional context.
The course reaches out to PhD students from design and architecture, technical sciences, engineers, and from philosophy, humanities, and social sciences.
