The lab predicts how architectural spaces will look by using lighting simulation.
AboutAbout the lab
Predicting the visual appearance of architectural spaces through simulation.
The Yoshizawa Lab studies light in architecture, that is, lighting and the luminous environment.
Adjusting the quantity and quality of light requires considering not only visual beauty but also various other aspects, such as ease of seeing and energy efficiency.
The lab's main aim is to develop, through surveys of real spaces and scale-model experiments, methods that determine the behavior of light with lighting simulation and use the results to predict how architectural spaces will look.
Methods for introducing daylight into museums and ways of using LED lighting are also listed among its research themes.
Key terms
- Lighting simulation
- A method that calculates the spread of light on a computer to predict the brightness and appearance of a space.
- Daylight
- Sunlight taken into a room through windows and other openings.
- Visibility
- How easy it is to see things. It is one of the viewpoints used to evaluate the quality of lighting.

ResearchResearch themes
To adjust the quantity and quality of light, the lab studies the relationship between architecture and light from aspects such as aesthetics, visibility, and energy efficiency. Its main aim is to develop, through surveys of real spaces and scale-model experiments, methods that determine the behavior of light with lighting simulation and predict how architectural spaces will look.
