This short video introduces the importance of architectural lighting quality in shaping the experience of buildings and supporting everyday comfort. Herwin Gunawan connects lighting design with architectural character, visual experience, and the quality of life of the people using a space.

The accompanying discussion highlights five lighting design considerations: the spectrum of the light source, the hardness or softness of light, contrast and uniformity, glare, and flicker. These provide a starting point for considering lighting quality alongside the amount of illumination.

For architects, interior designers, lighting designers, building owners, and facility teams, the video offers a brief introduction to a human-centered approach to lighting. It encourages design decisions that consider both the character of the architecture and the needs of its users.

Part of the Herwin Gunawan Work video library, this entry reflects ALTA Integra’s approach to connecting architectural design, environmental quality, and human experience.
