Iluminação integrada para ambiente expositivo: análise do comportamento luminoso na Grande Galeria do Palácio das Artes

Abstract

Light is the central theme of the exhibition spaces, as it is the structuring element of the architectural image of the exhibitions which will determine the perception and experience of visitors in relation to the works of art and the space. The control over the amount of natural light that enters the exhibition is an important issue when it comes to expography, as each type of work of art specifically requires the control of amount of light to maintain its integrity. Therefore, it is proposed the case study of the Galeria do Palácio das Artes, which has glazed façades and problems of glare and visual discomfort as other museums and galleries in Brazil. Based on computer simulations with Rhinoceros and Climate Studio, the metric of Spatial Daylight Availability, sDA, along as the Annual Sunlight Exposure, ASE, were analyzed in order to find adequate solutions to guarantee the environmental and luminous quality according to the lighting standards. Based on these results, an expographic lighting map was proposed to assist the exhibition process.
