Abstract:
This research aims to design an object for natural light control, with the purpose to confer the sensation of a living space. This controlled feature allows users to interact with an outside natural light and experiences new form of light which affects the utilized indoor atmosphere. Achieving this design aspect, the confinements and the utilization of light as well as the relationship of the atmosphere created by various lighting affects on peoples perception both physically and emotionally, was a primary focused of this master project. The research was simultaneously conducted in mixed methods studies between quantitative and qualitative by interview, questionnaire and experiment focusing on certain external variables for brightness and ambient assessment. Subsequently, the results of the research and the design concluded as a creation of final product, which would be productively evaluated from the specialists and the satisfaction level of the target users by analyzing data using average values (x̄), percentage (%) and standard deviation (S.D.). The consequence of this research indicated that a variety of factors have a great impact for controlling the quality of natural light entering an indoor space. The experimental variable has a potential to re-direct the sunlight ray in order to solve many problems, including insufficient brightness and feeling locked up in constraint interior area, to create a good and emotional atmosphere for the people who live or utilized a given space. Consequently, the evaluation of user satisfaction towards final design product had a high level, with the average of 4.29 (S.D.=0.34) in aesthetic, 4.29 (S.D.= 0.26) in function and 4.54 (S.D.= 0.30) in user attitude towards product.
