MICHAEL P. FROHLING, for the Master of Fine Arts degree in Theater, presented on 29 March 2010, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: VISUAL STORYTELLING: THE LIGHTING DESIGN OF A RAISIN IN THE SUN MAJOR PROFESSOR: Mark Varns Visual Storytelling: The Lighting Design of A Raisin in the Sun is a culmination of the lighting design for the play Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry. This production by Southern Illinois University Carbondale's Department of Theater was produced in February 2009. This thesis chronicles the design process in all aspects from beginning to end. The document begins with a textual analysis of the script along with accompanying research. The second chapter focuses on design meetings and the process of coming to decisions about "Raisin". These decisions were arrived at through careful considerations of metaphoric analysis and through imagistic research using internet search engines and volumes of different artists. It also describes the implementation of those decisions. Chapter three focuses on the goals and evaluations of the production. A series of appendices contains image research, light plot, applicable paperwork, and production photos.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Guy M. Perticone, for the Master of Fine Arts degree in Theater, presented on April 2, 2013, at Southern Illinois University. TITLE: LIGHTING THE THREE MUSKETEERS MAJOR PROFESSOR: Mark Varns The following document is a written summation of the process of researching, designing, installing, and evaluating the lighting design for The Three Musketeers by Ken Ludwig. The show was produced at Southern Illinois University in November 2013 and was performed upon the McLeod Stage. The first chapter will discuss the research process featuring the novel by Alexandre Dumas and the play as written by Ken Ludwig. Chapter 2 covers the design process and its various considerations while Chapter 3 expounds upon the installation of the lighting design. Chapter four is where I evaluate my successes and failures during the course of the preparation for and culmination of the lighting design. The appendices feature a scene by scene breakdown of the action of the play, a visual record of gobos used in the production, and a series of photographs that show scenes from the production as well as a series of images featuring specific aspects of the lighting design. Supplementary material is a pdf file of the final lighting plot.

Discomfort glare from daylight is among the most common issues in commercial offices and has been shown to negatively impact productivity, comfort, and well-being. While occupants' adaptive behavioral responses to discomfort glare can significantly alter both the energy use profile and indoor environmental quality of a workspace, little is know about the specific relationship between the environment in which discomfort glare is perceived and the subsequent behavioral response to it. This study proposes a new Glare Response Sensitivity index to evaluate the relationship between environmental parameters and behavioral outcomes in a daylit commercial office building. The results of this study show through a parametric analysis that perceptual sensitivity mediates the relationship between environmental lighting conditions and controls use behaviors. Further, the results suggest that spatial factors including office type and level of control over the environment may affect the likelihood of active lighting controls use behaviors in daylit buildings.

O trabalho está divido em três partes: pesquisa, criação e execução do desenho. Na fase da pesquisa, estudo tanto os elementos técnicos como os elementos estéticos que devem ser coletados para contribuir para a criação artística através da luz e, ao mesmo tempo, criar condições materiais para que se dê essa criação. Na fase da criação, discuto a importância da visão do design de iluminação como processo artístico, assim como, faço um paralelo entre esse e a criação em arte pictórica, ensejando determinar o valor estético da luz sobre os palcos e as semelhanças e diferenças que se estabelecem entre essas duas artes. Na terceira e última fase, faço uma apresentação do software LabLux versão beta 1.01, criado, especialmente, para demonstrar os processos lógicos de criação de mapas e planilhas de projetos de iluminação cênica. Conjuntamente, discuto os elementos principais do desenho técnico de um projeto e sua importância como ferramenta de comunicação entre criadores e executores de uma obra de iluminação de palco / Abstract: This research intends to study the stage lighting design which is divided in three parts: research, creation, and execution of the drawing. In the research phase, I studied the technical and aesthetic elements that must be collected in order to contribute to the artistic creation through light. They also provide the necessary material condition to facilitate the creation process itself. During the creation phase, I discuss the importance of the visualization of the lighting design as an artistic process. In addition, I trace a parallel between this and the creation of pictorial art so as to determine the aesthetic value of the light over the stage, including the similarities and differences between the two arts. At the third and last phase, I present the LabLux software, beta version 1.01 which was specially developed to demonstrate the logical creating process of maps and stage lighting project spreadsheets. At the same time, I discuss the main elements of the technical drawing of a project and its importance as a tool of communication between creators and executors of a stage lighting production / Mestrado / Mestre em Multimeios

This thesis presents a conceptual framework for the introduction of daylighting considerations into the design of office buildings. Design is an intuitive process, yet the intuition must be educated by study and analysis. The framework developed in the thesis enables the systematic study of daylighting principles and techniques and is a major step towards a grasp of daylighting design. The thesis is divided into nine chapters. The introductory chapter contains a brief history of daylighting in office buildings, examines reasons for daylighting, and explains the structure of the thesis. The following chapter analyses the performance criteria that the luminous environment in office interiors must fulfill in order to provide a satisfactory performance of visual tasks and result in user acceptance. Each of the next five chapters examine specific techniques, under five general objectives: i. promoting daylight access ii. promoting daylight penetration iii. interior space planning for daylighting advantage iv. controlling brightness extremes v. integrating daylight with electrical light In each chapter, these techniques are listed in order of decreasing scale: from site planning, through building configuration and building envelope, to building interior. The thesis shows that daylighting can be incorporated into building design at various levels of commitment, ranging from a total commitment to daylighting, in which the building is conceived as "a light fixture that can be engineered to a state of optimal performance", to a minor commitment, in which, for example, perimeter lights in an otherwise standard office building design are controlled in response to daylighting needs. Furthermore, it is shown that daylighting techniques can be introduced at various scales--some techniques may modulate the massing, while others deal with specific building components. Following the study of techniques, there is a discussion on daylighting design tools and the integration of daylighting with other aspects of design. The thesis concludes that daylighting offers architects the opportunity to design office buildings so that they use less energy and, at the same time, provide a better working environment than is the case with most buildings today. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), School of / Graduate

Among the different environmental functions atria perform, this research has focused only on daylighting. The thesis has been presented in two parts. The first part provides the background information, the extent of daylighting research in atria, objective and scope of the research. The environmental role of atria has also been discussed. The second part deals with the research procedure, the description of the scale model used for the study, the conditions under which the study have been conducted, and finally, the conclusions of the study. The effects of changing the reflectivity of the wall and floor surfaces of the atria well on the illumination in the adjacent spaces to atria have been studied. The objective of the thesis was to establish the relative contributions of the changes in the surface reflectance of the wall and the effects of variations in the area of the openings in the wall facade on lighting in the adjacent occupied spaces. The importance of the floor reflectivity in lighting the spaces adjacent to the atria was also determined. Quantitative analysis of daylighting in atria has been conducted using physical scale models under natural overcast skies using daylight factor and well index to normalize the results. Although the thesis has concentrated on daylighting, in reality there are other functions, both social and environmental, that atria are required to perform, and where appropriate, these functions have been acknowledged. It has been established by this research, that the atria well and the spaces adjacent to it are affected by changes in the area of openings in the form of windows in the wall facades of the well. Small variations in higher reflective surfaces on the wall facade produce greater differences in the daylight factors as compared to similar differences in surfaces with lower reflectances. Using high surface reflectance on the floor of the atria well will enhance illumination in the lower levels of the atria. As the area of the (high) reflective surfaces along the edges of the floor is increased, the illumination in the side spaces in the lower levels also increases. The area of floor reflectivity needed for increasing the illumination levels in the side spaces is dependent on the area of openings on the walls at the lower levels. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), School of / Graduate
