Rosegarden Branch Library San Jose, CA Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Option Primary Consultant: Professor Mistrick Outline Background Introduction Design Process Exterior façade Computer Room Circulation Area Storytelling Area Breadth Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Background Location: San Jose, CA Ave. Temperature: ~48.7 F (Jan.) - 64.5 F (Sept.) Town population: 894943 Area: 2 floors spanning _____ sqft Multi-functional: Library Conference Rooms Cyber-café Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Symbol The SUN: Radiates heat Provides warmth Gives life Is very similar to colors of library Looks like the sunset Children and Adults should all WANT to go to the Library and read a book. Stimulates their imagination Creates a warm and cozy feeling where people will forget about their problems and focus on reading. Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Exterior facade Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Exterior Façade: Design Goals Attract adults and children to the library. Inviting, making children want to come back. Represent knowledge=power Make the library shine at night Highlight interesting points of architecture, and surrounding landscape Try to avoid light pollution Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Use Area used for circulation in front of building Entering and exiting building Pedestrians walking on sidewalk up and down streets Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Goal Light up the front entrance sign with LED’s from behind so that it creates a glow from behind the letters. Creating a lunar eclipse effect “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” Edith Wharton Radiates light Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Proposed Sketch LED lit Rosegarden Library Sign Up-light wall-washers The lobby will be lit from inside Up-lighting for trees Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Surrounding Landscape Uplights Easily maintained Waterproof Metal halide Recessed in-ground fixtures Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Spaces to re-design Exterior facade In light yellow Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Lamps chosen Bollard Distribution: I # lamps: 1 Lamp type: 35 W Metal Halide Electronic control system Corrosion resistant cast aluminum, no rinse surface treatment Luminaire spacing up to 5x light centre height d = 5h Distance to plane of wall: half the luminaire spacing For visual guidance: luminaire spacing up to 10x light centre height Miory Kanashiro d = 10h Lighting/Electrical Wall-washers using metal halide lamps to graze surface of protruding areas on north and west walls.

Does it work and meet with the design criteria Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Interior Spaces Focus on : Children’s psychology Fun atmosphere READING IS FUN! Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Computer room - Goals Uniform lighting on task area Even vertical illuminance Avoid glare on VDT screens Enough illuminance for reading, research, writing, play computer games Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Computer Rm. - Design Concept Appealing to children Geometrical luminairs Light fixtures are tie in together with other areas Soft uplight Simple design Calm area Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Children’s Computer Area: Indirect lighting light fixtures. Wall wash with slight blue tint Minimizes glare on VDT screens Part of space has Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Reflected Ceiling Plan Pendants Miory Kanashiro Suspended ceiling Lighting/Electrical Floor plan of Children’s Computer Area Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Lamps chosen Mounting: pendant Distribution: I # lamps: 4 Lamp type: T8 Nominal length: 6ft Ballast: ELB 96% uplight and a maximum of 4% downlight Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical IESNA requirements Horizontal Illuminance needed from Title 24 requirements: 30 lux (3fc) People need to be able to see what they are reading or writing on the task planes. Vertical Illuminance needed on VDT screens: 30 lux (3fc) To be able to read a book held vertically or placed on a horizontal surface. Correct illuminantion on computer surfaces is also critical, that is why vertical illumannce in this area is important. Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Title 24 Allowable power density for a computer room is 1.3 W/sqft according to Title 24. Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Rendering Lightscape rendering goes here Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Circulation and Storytelling Areas Storytelling Area Circulation Area Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Goals for Children's Storytelling and Circulation Area Playful Wonderland Fantasy Surrealist Unreal Storybook Fairy-tale Dreamy Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Verbs Read Wonder Dream Imagine Create Write Learn Analyze Inquire Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Metaphor Fantasy land: represents a child’s dreams, everything can come true. Imagination is all you need. Magical atmosphere. Fairy-tale environment Inviting, making children want to come back. Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Interior Spaces: Symbol North Star Guides Provides direction Bright Powerful Important in history Symbol of astronomy/science/truth/history/freedom Symbol of stories/beliefs/legends Very sparkly: will create awe in children Wish upon a star Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Design Approach for interior With this quote in mind: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." ~Eleanor Roosevelt, American First Lady Create an environment filled with MAGIC and FAIRY-TALE stories. Children and Adults should all WANT to the Library and read a book. Stimulates imagination Creates warm, cozy feeling People will forget about problems and focus on reading. Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Children’s Circulation Provide even distribution of light Use light fixtures with a clean look Indirect/direct lighting on top of shelves Lighting that does not produce shadows in isles Lighting for shelves should be adequate for reading books and documents Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Circulation Area Circulation Area In green Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Children’s Circulation Provide hidden T5 lamps on perimeter of circular holes on drop ceiling. Glowing feeling from circular holes. Unique pendants hanging down from right side over hallway. Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Proposed Look Dropped Ceiling Changing colors LED lighting coming from below dropped ceiling Indirect/direct linear pendants with T5 fluorescent lamps Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Reflected Ceiling Plan of Children’s Circulation Area Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Rendering of Circulation Area Lightscape rendering in here. Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Conclusions Does re-design have a more fun and fantasy look? While keeping illuminance levels and power levels? Was design criteria followed Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Storytelling Area Storytelling Area In fuchsia Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Children’s Storytelling Area Design Goals Illusion: kids are reading under starlit sky uniform distribution of light Avoid glare Good rendering of faces and objects Environment filled with MAGIC and FAIRY-TALE stories. Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Illusion of galaxy “The Navigator's Star." Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Children’s Storytelling Area Use small blue/white LED lights or fiber optics in order to achieve goal Make circular ceiling protrusions change color with LED system as used in Detroit Airport. Resembling nature’s sunset. Pendants hanging in round shapes. Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Proposed Look Miory Kanashiro Unique pendants hanging down from right side over hallway. Lighting/Electrical Rendering of Lighting Design Lightscape rendering of Storytelling Area Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Controls Lighting Controls 6 or 8 preset colors Red, green and blue Each color would be on a separately dimmed circuit. A DMX control system would mix the colors to create the presets. Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Materials used Circular protrusions over storytelling area Materials: Barasol Newmat Miory Kanashiro Lighting/Electrical Conclusions Were goals achieved? Does re-design resemble proposed look?
