Ambient Light for locating and scanning books, and for reading and research at tables
Light Sources: halogen and fluorescent, natural light
Luminaires:
Hanging fixtures for fluorescent lamps. Lamp is not visible. Cover is a grid so light is diffused.

Fixture for halogen lamps (bowl shaped down lights) are hung high above tables, so are not great for task lighting or reading for long periods of time. Lamp is not visible because there is a lens on the fixture and it diffuses the light

There is a yellowish cast to the light.

Natural light enters through tall windows on the East and West sides of the space.

Above hanging fixtures, ceiling is not illuminated.

Colors appear slightly dull. The room is well lit. The level of illumination provides a relaxing atmosphere to the space and encourages quiet behavior.

Essence of Sparkle Group Light Project

For this project, our objective was to achieve a play of brilliance or sparkle lighting effect. We did this by projecting red light onto a carved foam sculpture. The interior of the box was painted black so any light was absorbed except that on the sculpure thus creating a dramatic effect.

· Hobbies: reading, woodworking, painting, scrapbooking, creating DVD photo collages, any craft that strikes my fancy
· Major: Interior Architecture. Reasons: I am a nostalgic person. My maternal grandparents were a large influence from early childhood onward. With the exception of some traveling during World War II, they lived most of their lives in the small town where they grew up, so there was a strong sense of family history and roots. Both my parents are from that same small town. Although my grandparents and most of my parents’ extended family are no longer living, I feel their presence when I visit the town. This is why I am interested in architectural restoration. I believe old buildings, whether they are homes, factories, or office buildings, have stories to tell and should be preserved. I want to specialize in architectural preservation. I am also very interested in furniture design. I like working with my hands.
