    This document provides an overview of key concepts in lighting, color, and texture design for architecture. It discusses color theory and the color wheel. It also covers lighting design fundamentals like lumens, footcandles, cornice lights, and drop ceiling lights. Texture design elements like texture repetition, variation, and directionality are explained. Color schemes from resources like Pantone and Colourlovers are referenced. The goal is to convey essential information about applying color, lighting, and texture in architectural design.

    COLOR THEORY

    The Color Wheel

    LIGHTING DESIGN

    Drop Ceiling Light
    Lumens
    Lumens
    • The lumen (symbol: lm) is the SI derived unit of luminous flux, a measure of
    the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source. Luminous flux differs
    from power (radiant flux) in that radiant flux includes all electromagnetic
    waves emitted, while luminous flux is weighted according to a model of the
    human eye's sensitivity to various wavelengths. Lumens are related to lux
    in that one lux is one lumen per square meter.

    • The lumen is defined in relation to the candela as

    • 1 lm = 1 cd⋅sr.
    Footcandle
    Footcandle
    The name "footcandle" conveys "the illuminance cast on a surface by a
    one-candela source one foot away".

    sometimes foot candle; abbreviated fc, lm/ft2, or sometimes ft-c


    ETC
    • RADIANCE is another way of saying how much energy is released
    from that light source.

    • ILLUMINANCE is what results from the use of light. You turn your
    flashlight on in a dark room, and you light something up. That's
    ILLUMINANCE. Turning on a light in a dark room to make the burglar
    visible gives you ILLUMINANCE.
    ETC
    • Candlepower is a way of measuring how much light is produced by a
    light bulb, LED or by striking an arc in a Carbon-Arc spotlight.

    • A candlepower as a unit of measure is not the same as a foot-candle.


    A candlepower is a measurement of the light at the source, not at the
    object you light up.

    • And a candela is the metric equivalent of the light output of that one
    candle, based on metric calculations.
    • Summing it all up:
    • Candlepower is a rating of light output at the source, using English
    measurements.
    • Foot-candles are a measurement of light at an illuminated object.
    • Lumens are a metric equivalent to foot-candles in that they are
    measured at an object you want to illuminate.
    • Divide the number of lumens you have produced, or are capable of
    producing, by 12.57 and you get the candlepower equivalent of that
    light source.
    • We've now converted a measurement taken some distance from the
    illuminated object, converted it from a metric standard to an English
    unit of measure, and further converted it from a measure
    of illumination to a measure ofradiation!

    COLOR SCHEME
    • http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes
    Pantone
    • The Pantone Color Matching System is largely a standardized color
    reproduction system. By standardizing the colors, different
    manufacturers in different locations can all refer to the Pantone
    system to make sure colors match without direct contact with one
    another.
