Sunlighting as formgiver for architecture

— Lam, William M. C. - Nama Orang;

At the beginning of my career as an architectural lighting consultant, I wrote a series of articles in Architectural Record, "Lighting for Architecture" (1959-60), to remind architects that the uncomfortable, unpleasant, unattractive luminous en- vironments characteristic of most of their new buildings were the result of their abdication of lighting design to engineers untrained in design. I tried to describe some basic rules and elements with which to order the design of lighting for buildings. I stressed the need to develop a lighting "program" that addressed and expressed the specific and complex uses of a building, rather than relying on simplistic numerical criteria.
