Week 8 - Mashup

The perceived quality of life in buildings and urban spaces comes from the geometry,  and optimizing building orientations to choosing interior surface qualities, and how that connects to the individual.  architecture is a public good.

A building’s geometry is a result of applying a particular form language chosen by the architect.what any one person or institution builds, others must live with, and often for a very long time. Daylight, for example  is a feature that helps determine, to a large extent, the emotional and physiological response of the user,  as well as a highly cost-effective means of reducing the energy for electrical lighting and cooling. The sun  can aim at  improving the perceived degree of “life” in the building through  providing basic information like time and weather and supports visual performance as well as comfort, This can be maximized through the  form language of a building.

Light can be used to maximize The perceived quality of  the life of our inhabited places. as an art and that that everybody deserves to enjoy precisely because it constitutes the life of our inhabited places.
