Summaries of content, keywords and links generated by algorithms. Thank you smmry.com:

Summary 1: Place the lights low, and apart, to form individual pools of light which encompass chairs and tables like bubbles to reinforce the social character of the spaces which they form.

Summary 2: When the light is perfectly even, the social function of the space gets utterly destroyed: it even becomes difficult for people to form natural human groups.

Summary 3: If a group is in an area of uniform illumination, there are no light gradients corresponding to the boundary of the group, so the definition, cohesiveness, and "Existence" of the group will be weakened.

Summary 4: These authors conclude that local lighting over a work table allows the worker to pay more attention to his work than uniform background lighting does.

Summary 5: We know of many failures: for example, places where small lights do break down even illumination, but do not correspond in any real way with the places where people tend to gather in the space.

Summary 6: Color the lampshades and the hangings near the lights to make the light which bounces off them warm in color - WARM COLORS.....
