Abstract
This dissertation proposes a framework, which was called the
”Exterior Lighting Framework” (ELF), and a systematic methodology
and procedure to design tbe exterior lighting of buildings and their
surrounding environment. The proposed methodology embraces diverse
areas of research that include: the facade architectural design, the site
approach (the exterior site approach and the adjacent spaces / the interior
site approach with its landscape), exterior lighting techniques, and
technical factors that affect the design of the exterior lighting.
The framework application process includes six phases to
generate the lighting design. These phases involve investigation and
analysis, design, selection, verification, assessment, and accomplishment.
These phases, except for the investigation and analysis phase, are not
carried out in a sequential manner but rather in a continuous back and
forth movement between the different steps as the design progresses and
evolves.
Afterwards, the proposed methodology is verified through an
application study which involves the design of the exterior lighting of
two Egyptian heritage buildings.
