Once again I have found inspirational videos on TED. Both videos are based on natural lighting and how it effects all life. The first video is presented by Edith Widder and is based on lighting within the natural underwater world. Although the information in the video is based predominantly on the biology of deep sea creatures I believe all design even lighting design can be influenced by nature. Often nature is the first and finest at creating techniques and methods.
The second video talks about the sleep cycle and how lighting effects us, and how beings have adapted and evolved with internal clocks. These internal clocks are what help us wake and sleep, and as mentioned in the video this internal clock sets itself on lighting. Sleep is one of the most important routines that we have to make. Within the modern context of most large conurbations sleep is being lost due to many factors including poor lighting and light trespassing. With good lighting design the natural cycle of light can be created with minimal impact.
