Assignment 2
Tutor: Ar Edwin Chan Yean Liong
LUMEN METHOD
Artificial Lighting Design Layout
During the period of our second assignment, which lasted three weeks, I was assigned tasks involving researching and collecting data, doing calculations and designing A2 boards. With the same members from the previous assignment, I was again responsible of overseeing the works of my members and initiating movements within the team. This assignment taught us about various types of lightings and the effective design layout for the setting of general lighting, while implementing the Lumen Method calculation. Furthermore, it emphasises on the importance of having adequate amount of illuminance in different types of rooms. During this time, my group members and I, Group 4, were to select an indoor space from a provided list, that includes spaces such as hospitals, offices, libraries, etc. and find a building that consist of the space we chose. The key factors of this assignments are the Lumen Method application, the general lighting layout proposal via reflected ceiling plan, the showcase of other lighting fittings in our chosen space via cross section drawing, and the proposal of other types of lighting to support the general lighting of our space.
Selected Building: National Textile Museum
Selected Space: Teluk Berantai Gallery (Museum)
A2 BOARDS DATA
Our A2 boards comprises of 6 segments, Introduction, Research, Lumen Method Calculations, Reflected Ceiling Plan, Lighting Fitting Showcase and Additional Lighting Proposals. The Introduction comprises of a brief background of our building and our chosen space. The Research contains the findings of the types of lighting that exist in our chosen space and the types of lighting that could support our space. Under Lumen Method calculations, you can find calculative workings with the necessary data. In the Reflected Ceiling Plan section, there is our proposed general lighting layout. The Lighting Fitting Showcase consist of the cross section drawing which depicts the other types of lighting fittings in our space. Lastly, the Additional Lighting Proposals has 3 proposed ideas to support/amend the current lighting situation of our chosen space.
