BUILDING SCIENCE 2

PROJECT 1-[Lighting & Acoustic Performance Evaluation and Design]

Lighting DESIGN is a primary element in architecture design and interior architecture. Solid volumes, 

enclosed spaces, colors and texture can only be appreciated fully when they are imaginatively lit. 

Successful buildings are those in which the lighting of the building itself and the lighting of the activities it 

contains together make up a unified design concept. This project is design to expose and introduce students 

to daylighting and lighting requirement in a suggested space.

Learning Outcomes 

 Able to produce a complete documentation on analysis of space in relation to lighting requirement 

eg. natural and artificial lighting. (Pictures, sketches and drawing) and analysis of factors which 

effects the lighting design of a space. 

 Explore and apply understanding of building physic eg. Lighting towards building / construction 

technology and building materials on existing building projects. 

 Able to evaluate and explore the improvisation by using current material and technology in 

relevance to present construction industry 

 Basic understanding and analysis of lighting layout and arrangements by using certain methods or calculations eg. Lumen method and PSALI. 

 Basic understanding and analysis of acoustic design layout and arrangements by using certain 

methods or calculations eg. Reverberation time and sound transmission coefficient.

DPAC THEATRE

The procedure of the research is to collect data and analyse the factors which affecting the lighting and acoustic conditions of the spaces in Damansara Performing Art Centre (DPAC). Two main spaces, foyer and main theatre are chosen for the analysis of acoustic and lighting. The factors that needed to be considered include the spatial layout, materials, equipment, activities, colours, textures and fenestrations. The objective of this project is to identify and analyse the condition and characteristics of lighting and acoustics in relation to the function and requirements of a given space, as well as understand the requirements, fittings and strategies to achieve a particular atmosphere and ambiance within the given space. Furthermore, special consideration will be given in relation to the design intent of the lighting and acoustical conditions based on the space's function and owner's requirement.
