This is the final, third part, on the presentation of Chapter 4 and the results of the Vladimir Voronov thesis [1], successfully defended at the Moscow Architectural Institute in 1985 and devoted to the author’s method of designing architectural lighting for industrial interiors with three main upper lantern types of natural daylight and artificial lighting.
The method was developed on the basis of longterm analytical calculations and numerous experiments conducted according to all the laws of statistics in natural conditions and in the camera “Mirror-type artificial sky” created by the author using planar and volumetric (on mock-ups) light modelling with careful measurement of lighting parameters characterizing various states, qualities and options for luminance composition, light saturation of the interior space, contrast of lighting, etc.
The conclusions of the dissertation give a general picture of the research work performed, the main meaning of which is the belief that the design of lighting in industrial (and in any other) interiors is not limited to providing elementary normalized lighting parameters, but is a complex, sophisticated, and creative task of architectural design where the light – natural and artificial – is the main “actor”, providing functional and aesthetic qualities to the interior.
