Architectural lighting design

Architectural lighting design is a field of work or study concerned with the design of lighting systems within the built environment, both interior and exterior. It can include the manipulation and design of daylight, electric light, or both, to serve human needs. Lighting design is grounded in both science and the visual arts.

The basic aim of lighting within the built environment is to enable occupants to see clearly and comfortably.
The objective of architectural lighting design is to balance the art and science of lighting to create mood and visual interest, and to enhance the experience of a space or place while still meeting technical and safety requirements.
