The light needed in lecture halls is as varied as the use of space, with high seating capacity in an often rigid and visually focused arrangement: from bright to dimmed, from bluish activating to reddish calming and festive mood lighting. The use of multimedia equipment and placing the focus on the teacher or presenter, requires a well-attuned lighting concept at the front of the hall, for good contrast and to easily recognise the presenter's facial expressions, ensuring the audience's full attention.
The design of recreational and play areas in all-day care facilities, preschools and nurseries has a lasting impact on social, cognitive and motor skills. The zone-dependent adjustment of light levels and colour temperatures creates a dynamic space that supports a variety of sensory play and learning experiences. Creating safety with the right light is a fundamental requirement – both outdoors and indoors.
Canteens are more than just functional places to satisfy hunger. The design approach takes into account the need for friendly interactions, relaxation and communication. The canteen is a hub for communication. The focus is therefore on supporting informal interactions between pupils, students and teachers. An important argument for perfectly coordinated intensity, light colour and colour rendering in relation to the food: As we all know, you eat with your eyes.
Even behind the scenes, there should be no break with the prevailing room and light atmosphere in an educational building. Excellent lighting quality is therefore required throughout. Last but not least: Aesthetically designed spaces encourage a culture of mindfulness and thus prevent vandalism – a common problem in additional areas.
