Design Strategy

Since I have an exposed ceiling, my goal was to select lighting devices that would satisfy illumination requirements and don’t look too bulky. I chose the strip light fixtures for most of the spaces since they provide enough lighting and nicely float in the air. Each floor has its own electrical unit and between three and four electric circuits so that I have more control and can easily turn off circuits that are not used (for example, at night). I also placed many outlets since probably a lot of educational and exhibition devices will be connected.

Space schedule

After placing the devices, I created a space schedule for each room to make sure that all the illumination requirements are satisfied. I had difficulties with the spaces because sometimes they would not go up the whole height of the floor. That is why for the same spaces with the same lighting features, for example,bathrooms, the values are different depending on the floor.
