Lighting: Fixtures Should Not Touch Historic Materials

An interior illuminated by independent light fixtures. Floor lamps, movable display light stands, and floor-standing wall washers provide light. No light fixtures are installed on the old ceiling or old walls. Light falls on brick surfaces and wooden structures, highlighting their texture, with low illuminance. Avoid: cutting holes in old ceilings for recessed lights, screwing track lights onto historical components, using strong, uniform light that flattens material textures, using cool white light that distorts the colors of wood and stone.

一個靠獨立燈具照明的室內。落地燈桿、可移動的展示燈架與立在地上的洗牆燈提供光線,老天花與老牆上沒有安裝任何燈具。光線打在磚面與木構上顯出質感,照度不高。避免:在老天花上開孔裝嵌燈、把軌道燈鎖在歷史構件上、用強光均勻打亮讓材質失去層次、使用冷白光破壞木石的顏色。
