Blog That 201!!!!

The Greensboro historical museum is washed in natural lighting regardless of what time of day.  With the massive windows that nearly go floor to ceiling sun light pours in all hours of the daytime allowing for little next to no artificial lighting at all to exist.  The natural lighting that is received by the lobby space of the GHM is overwhelming, the use of a light shelf is a must, in my eyes.  I would like to use recessed lighting but due to the volume of the space I feel that wouldn't produce the appropriate amount of light necessary for our uses.  As a group we have discussed throughly the idea of using lighting as a way finding method but haven't made any concrete decisions as to whether or not we are going to implement that.  Our main focal point of the lobby, (that as a group we have designed), is "The WALL" not to be confused with Pink Floyd's.  Now the wall is a free floating wall made of various materials still in the works, I hope to update this post after we have decided on all the materials, with lighting running across it in an exciting way.  I think thats about all that I can muster up at this time but will be back for more on our wall.
