Kozaki Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores what makes light and space comfortable for people, from both psychological and physical perspectives.
AboutAbout the lab
Environments and place-making for the people who live in them.
The Kozaki Lab studies what makes an environment comfortable for people and how people perceive their environment.
The lab clarifies the relationship between the psychology of people who experience a space and physical factors such as light, sound, and heat, and uses this to evaluate spaces.
Its research has focused especially on lighting and the visual environment, and the results have been applied to proposals for real spaces, such as lighting design for commercial stores.

*Illustrative imageLighting Design for Stores
The lab studies methods for improving how lighting environments are rated in commercial stores while reducing power consumption, as well as charts used in lighting design. Some of these methods have been verified in renovations of actual stores.
*Illustrative imageEvaluating Impressions of Space
The lab investigates the impressions people get from spaces, including organizing the words used to describe interior impressions, evaluating the exteriors of commercial stores, and examining how LED lighting in train stations affects users' psychology.
*Illustrative imageVisibility of Signage
The lab studies how easily people can take in information from signs and signage. Applying the approach used in lighting calculations, it has examined the visibility, legibility, and attention-grabbing quality of signs inside commercial facilities.
