Light_architecture

In Venezuela exist many buildings and construction with a good lighting, the examples that I chose, all them are in "Universidad Central de Venezuela" (UCV), designed by Carlos Raul Villanueva, one of the most important architects of the country.
 * Light Architecture **

Inside of the “Aula Magna” we can find in the ceiling the big sculpture called: "nubes de Calder" they are suspending in the roof by resisting cables, and they are made of plywood, behind them are many lights that not only are part of the piece of art, but also works like a general light, they are placed in strategic locations to provide all the necessary light to the hall, for example in presentations, concerts, graduations, and so on. Outside of the “Aula Magna”, in the entrance, we can find some peculiar walls, with holes in them, that serve for the entrance and exit the light and air, with the pass of years, they are dirty and damaged, but today are still useful for functions that were made.



Another example is the baseball stadium of the UCV, it has a good illumination, and this is possible for the big spotlights, that we can consider like a task, general and accent light.  -General light: not only serve for the gamers but also to the viewers. -Task light:  the reflectors helps it look better where the ball falls, so the perception of playground space is much better, and as a result the development of players is better too. -Accent light : the spotlight makes a focus inside of the playground, this helps carry out the game.
