Well-being, concentration and attention are closely connected to successful learning. Light and space have a regulating effect. As spaces where strength and identity are nurtured, classrooms require adaptable light scenes to support various activities from front-of-class instruction and focused individual tasks, to a warm, inviting atmosphere for discussions and group work. Adapting the light in this way creates optimal perceptual conditions even when the gaze changes frequently.
The requirements for lighting in subject classrooms range from controlling dust deposits in the workroom to flexible room use in the music room and maximum colour rendering in the art room. The technical equipment in these rooms is geared towards the goal of holistic learning. For this reason, lighting in dedicated subject classrooms must not only fulfil basic functional requirements, but above all to support a practical experience and enable sensory experience and creativity.
A welcoming atmosphere, focused learning or joint study sessions – libraries are rooms with a variety of uses. The success of the available products and services and the frequency of visits depend on the room’s attractiveness. A balance of spatial staging and individualised support for visual tasks is required.
Learning environments create flexible and versatile zones that act as meeting places for communication with a ‘marketplace’ in the centre. These rooms reflect modern, cross-classroom teaching methods with a focus on social connection, identity and learning in teams. The focus is also on communication and project work. A good lighting concept uses the influence of daylight and optimises the use of artificial light using smart controls. Luminaires with acoustic elements also help create a feel-good environment.
