to pour in different directions; to spread out
that percentage of incident light upon a surface which is reradiated in the
visual spectrum
1 2
angle of incident light equals angle of reflection
incident light is reflected in all directions. Its distribution is the same
regardless of the angle of incidence
to bend a ray of light as it passes from one medium into another (glass re-
fracts light)

an interference with visual perception caused by an uncomfortable bright
light source or reflection

the English unit of light intensity (10.76 LUX = lft-candle)

the English unit of luminance, or measured surface brightness
metric unit of light intensity (lumen per square meter JLm/m 1)

quantity of light per unit of surface area; the "intensity" or "density" of
light falling on a surface (English: Footcandle; metric: LUX)

light falling upon a surface
1 2
lighting provided by reflection, usually from wall and ceiling surfaces
12
lighting provided from a source without reflection from room surfaces
12
needs for visual information related to specific conscious activities
1 2
unceasing needs for visual information; not related to specific conscious
activities; but rather related to the more fundamental aspects of the human
relation to the environment: orientation, defense, stimulation, sustenance
and survival
1 2
illumination at a point indoors divided by the illumination received simul-
taneously outdoors on an unobstructed horizontal surfacell
the light obtained through windows located in the vertical building envelope
3
refers to the light obtained from skylights (horizontal building envelope)
3
light obtained through direct beam radiation from the sun
3
transformation of radiant energy to a different form of energy by the inter-
vention of water. When light is neither reflected nor transmitted, it is
absorbed by the material and may be transformed into heat
3
the relationship between the luminance of an object or area of interest and
that of its immediate background

6..."as the basis for music is the presence of silence,
the world of light is dependent upon darkness to give
it definition and form, and a quiet matrix within which
to come alive."
Henry Plummer, "Built Light."

"I remember walking through a fairly new
subsidized housing project in Holland one
morning. The streets are empty. Behind the
facades I see only women wandering around
like fish in glass bowls without much to do.
My presence with a camera is suspect. Who
wants to see all this? Suddenly the streets
are full of small children returning from
school. A routine re-asserts itself. Some
husbands will be home for lunch. Someone has
told me that suicide rates among women are
highest in neighborhoods like this.
Observation is the only source for architects.
What is it that those monuments in the
magazines and text books are standing in?
What are we doing in libraries and classrooms
anyway? Did you see something out there
lately?"
(N. John Habraken)
