Abstract

The practice of landscape lighting varies dramatically from interior lighting. No walls, no ceilings, darkness, and continual change encompass most of the variables that separate how we approach landscape lighting from interior lighting. In addition, landscape spaces typically don’t have “visual tasks.” Landscape lighting connects humans to their landscapes that have otherwise been essentially erased by darkness. It has the ability to calm people and help them relax in the “after-work hours.” Designing for our psychological and physiological responses allows us to create spaces that feel good to people. One example is that humans visually respond to vertical surfaces before horizontal, so when we light hedges, trees, or walls, we give visitors a clue as to the boundary of a space. This aids their sense of safety.
