Approach to Lighting Design and Light Planning in Constructivist Buildings

Being one of the most significant styles in the architectural avant-garde,  constructivism  introduced  to  the  world  of architecture  a  dozen  principles  that  remain  relevant  and progressive to this day. The  architectural  functionalism  and  purity,  lacking  any disturbances, undertakes Le Corbusier principles and works for the “poetry of a simple form and a philosophy of rationalism”. This way constructivism sets the rules for the internal planning, making this architectural style light and open-like, penetrated by daylight. Trends in contemporary architecture often echo the principles that the constructivists worked on. In terms of lighting design this means on one hand, there is a significant potential for today's architects to benefit from the deeper understanding of daylight planning approaches in constructivist buildings and on the other hand there is an opportunity to update the solutions in the design of artificial lighting. The project aims at identifying the possible lighting design program for these kinds of spaces. From pointing out the key factors to consider, through the analysis of a specific constructivist building, the set of solutions was developed with intention  to  apply  them  in  any  environment  designed  with  the same  principles  as  well  as  to  compliment  constructivism  in renovation projects.
