102MB | 164pages | Pdf

Abramson Teiger Architects designs sculptural and light-filled modern homes, institutional and cultural buildings, and commercial spaces. The firm specializes in contemporary designs that bring the legacy of Southern California mid-century architecture into the present day.
Headed by Trevor Abramson, FAIA, and Douglas Teiger, AIA, the award-winning Los Angeles firm designs dynamic structures of wood, glass, concrete, stone, and steel, with stripped-down forms and expansive windows that create a strong indoor/outdoor connection. Sustainability is central to the firm’s designs, which often incorporate new materials that promote thermal stability, bodies of water for evaporative cooling, and a strong focus on natural light.
Layers Volumes Light: Abramson Teiger Architects showcases 15 residential and institutional projects. Among them are the sculptural Sinnott residence, the featured home in ABC’s hit television show “Modern Family”; the soaring First Presbyterian Church in Encino, California, winner of multiple design awards from the American Institute of Architects; and compelling modern houses in California, Wyoming, and Ontario.

Daylight and Architecture - issue #12

VELUX Editorial
Flows
In December 2009, the entire world will be looking towards Copenhagen. 10,000 politicians, representatives of civil society and the media are expected to attend the COP 15 summit in the Danish capital. The aim is to get a new agreement off the ground to succeed the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012. Goals for 2050 will be agreed and great expectations are held for the conference, some observers calling it “the last real opportunity to keep climate change within limits”.
The VELUX Group believes that it is of immeasurable importance that an ambitious climate agreement with broad-reaching support is reached at the summit. We propose that buildings be put on the agenda as they account for up to 40 % of all energy consumption. We take responsibility as a company, and we strive to optimise our products and devise solutions for sustainable, CO₂-neutral buildings. Implementing solutions in practice requires legislative frameworks and political incentives.

We welcome incentives for energy renovation of housing that will improve the overall energy performance through renewable energy solutions like active and passive solar gain – with the objective of healthy buildings with good indoor climate, generous daylight levels and high air exchange rates with natural ventilation.

Words on CO₂ reduction must be transformed into realistic frameworks for action at COP 15 – also for the building stock. There is a huge potential in changing our energy consumption in housing and other buildings if we want to reduce CO₂ emissions significantly. The path VELUX proposes is Sustainable Living. Basically, this is the concept of continually improving the quality of our homes and maintaining high living standards at the same time as reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions; to achieve this goal, the three key parameters are energy efficiency, healthy indoor climate and renewable energy.

The VELUX Group can contribute with solutions and know-how to reduce CO₂ emissions in buildings through products that will contribute to a sustainable future.

This issue of Daylight & Architecture puts the focus on flows in cities. Cities, being a constellation of buildings, are huge crossroads of a constant flow of resources; materials, energy, people, daylight, money and much more keep on flowing into and out of them day after day. 75 % of the world´s energy is used in cities, which represent a potential 75 % of the solution to the major questions of how to minimise and optimise our use of resources.

We have asked eleven experts to depict a specific urban ’flow’ and an action point in terms of urban sustainability. The authors have developed scenarios of how urban flows could develop by the year 2050 and how we can make that development as sustainable as possible. After the scenarios, we then shift the focus to the decision makers, the key stakeholders for influencing developments towards 2050. How, today, can we define and implement strategies and tools that will bring us to our desired goals more than 40 years hence? C40 is a group of the world’s major cities that have assumed leadership on how to reduce carbon emissions. We have interviewed the C40 secretariat on its approach to climate change. We also asked the local governments of London (founder of C40), Warsaw, Paris, Berlin and Copenhagen how they tackle the huge challenges.

Furthermore, the Danish Minister of the Environment, Connie Hedegaard, explains what is at stake at the COP 15 summit and how the business community can act against climate change. “The price to be paid for delaying action on climate change will just go on rising the longer we sit on our hands and do nothing”, she argues.

Finally, we bring an interview with the CEO of the VELUX Group, Jørgen Tang-Jensen – holding up a mirror to ourselves and asking: how does the VELUX Group address and approach climate change problems and how do we actually reduce CO₂ emissions, by what means and timeframe?

In this issue, we have taken a different approach from all the previous issues of Daylight & Architecture, breaking with the usual categories and sequence. This is essential when discussing how we are to ensure a sustainable 2050, with resources and wealth for future generations.

Architectural Weaving
Weaving, one of the oldest cultural techniques known to man, is of outstanding importance to architecture. This special association was recognized long ago by the German architect and theoretician Gottfried Semper (1805–1879). Peter Blundell Jones looks at how Semper’s theories on textile architecture have evolved since the mid 19th Century, and at the links existing between weaving and architecture today.
Daylighting details
Glass as a structural material
Light and materials are inseparably connected, indeed they actually determine each other: neither is visible to the human eye until the two come together. For this reason, great architects have always also allowed themselves to be directed by the light in the choice of their building materials. They use light to draw out contrasts between different materials and they use materials that allow them to create a very specific distribution of light in a room.

Lighting Modern Buildings

Derek Phillips, "Lighting Modern Buildings"
Architectural Press | 248 pages | 2000-08-07 | 0750640820 | PDF | 16.5MB

This is an important book, written by one of the top lighting designers in the country. Written at the end of a career as an architect and lighting designer, the book draws on the experience gained while living through a period of intense lighting development, from 1956 up to the millenium. It bridges the gap between the present day architect and lighting engineer, from the viewpoint of the 'independent lighting designer'.

'Lighting Modern Buildings' documents the part played by the independent lighting designer, leading to a greater understanding by architects and lighting engineers of the importance of lighting in architectural design.

The book starts with an exploration of the basic human needs of vision and the perception of our exterior world...the intellectual and the physical...since this is what lighting is all about. To do this, it is necessary to trace the development of daylight from earliest times up to the present day; the starting point for any lighting design is the 'natural' source.

Whilst an essential understanding of the role of daylight is the beginning, a knowledge of the various forms and properties of artificial light is essential; not only at night but during the day. In early buildings, there was one form of light - daylight - during the day and another - artificial - at night. No attempt was made to integrate the two. The situation today is different; there are many reasons for this, not least in the possibilities of modern structure. The book therefore has extensive coverage of day and night lighting and how it is designed to provide optimum solutions in building design.

A major portion of Derek Phillips' book is devoted to 'design'. Sufficient technical detail is provided in the book to permit an understanding of the design principles of each scheme. Schemes illustrated vary from small domestic buildings, churches and workplace, to those devoted to leisure and sport. At the end of each section a series of conclusions are drawn leading to a philosophy of lighting design.

* Learn how to design optimum lighting solutions
* Understand how to bridge the gap between architects and lighting engineers
* Discover how to integrate natural and artificial light sources

Lighting by Design (first edition)

Lighting by Design
Architectural Press | 075065130X | 2003 | 224 pages | PDF | 3.45 MB

Lighting by Design is a practical guide structured around a new theoretical approach to the design of lighting for architectural spaces.
Christopher Cuttle outlines his unique three-level approach to lighting design in this indispensable text for students and professionals. Through Observation, Visualisation and Realization, the book explains how to envision, develop and produce your own lighting ideas.
Architects, interior designers and specialist lighting designers will benefit from a holistic approach to the lighting process, combining technical information with a distinctive design theory.
Cuttle begins with the development of observational skills, leading to the ability to visualise architectural spaces in light. The final stage of realising the lighting concept involves application of calculational procedures to develop a technical lighting specification. The text includes practical advice on meeting design specifications and contractual obligations. There is also a glossary of technical terms and symbols, and a guide to the calculations that the author uses for quantifying lighting concepts.
:: Benefit from Cuttle's extensive knowledge and experience
:: The only lighting textbook which teaches design skills
:: A technical guide that provides a fascinating explanation of lighting theory
