Daylight interests

Working on daylight in relation to

SkyCities

Why daylight matters in my work

My research investigates (day)light in the urban structure by engaging in the questions of health, climate, and visual and non-visual human responses to provide evidence-based urban planning solutions with (day)light that are in-context and human-oriented to enhance the quality of living spaces.

Daylight Academy projects I worked on

Summer School “Measuring Light and Illumination” (2022), Summer School "Measuring light and illumination" (2024), A room with a view, The (day)light interactions project: towards an interdisciplinary framework and online tool, Daylight metrics, measurements, and data
