The use of color theory in various environments has been a well researched subject. People know that hospitals and rest-homes use blue and green paints to instill a peaceful and trustworthy atmosphere for their patients and that people often use light colored paints in small rooms rather than darker colors in order to make the rooms feel larger. People use colors in all sorts of ways to affect how people feel when they enter an environment and most people know a little bit of how this works. But, how is light used. I noticed that a lot of institutions like schools and hospitals have the same high intensity bright blue light in their hallways. Also, just as how white paint can keep a room from feeling cluttered the inclusion of a sunroof and natural light can really widen out a space. I wonder how do architects chose to light a structure and what are the reason's behind their designs.
