Approach to Lighting Design and Light Planning in Constructivist Buildings
Being one of the most significant styles in the architectural avant-garde, constructivism introduced to the world of architecture a dozen principles that remain relevant and progressive to this day. The architectural functionalism and purity, lacking any disturbances, undertakes Le Corbusier principles and works for the “poetry of a simple form and a philosophy of rationalism”. This way constructivism sets the rules for the internal planning, making this architectural style light and open-like, penetrated by daylight. Trends in contemporary architecture often echo the principles that the constructivists worked on. In terms of lighting design this means on one hand, there is a significant potential for today's architects to benefit from the deeper understanding of daylight planning approaches in constructivist buildings and on the other hand there is an opportunity to update the solutions in the design of artificial lighting. The project aims at identifying the possible lighting design program for these kinds of spaces. From pointing out the key factors to consider, through the analysis of a specific constructivist building, the set of solutions was developed with intention to apply them in any environment designed with the same principles as well as to compliment constructivism in renovation projects.
