    Publication
    • K. M. Zielińska

    - Year 2009

    What defines excellent lighting design for humans and animals? The answer to the above question is more than com­plex. It is not enough nowadays to design a project to make it aesthetically pleasing. Nor is it sufficient to create nicely lit environments, or simply to achieve the light levels required by the lighting norms or stan­dards. With the new scientific research of the last few de­cades that relates directly or indirectly...
