Building occupants in the spotlight: health, comfort and visual dynamics in daylit spaces

Marilyne Andersen

To embed the diversity and variability of human needs as foundational elements of daylighting design and put human occupants back at the core of the building question, we need to reach out to fundamental discoveries from neuroscience, biology and other fie ...
