Field Daylighting
Institute The Martin Centre for Architectural and Urban studies, University of Cambridge

This essay attempts to describe the light and shadow patterns in Kettle’s Yard art gallery, investigate the light levels in relation to limits proposed and then examine the effectiveness of the solutions proposed. “The combination of field measurements, physical modelling and computer analysis clearly demonstrates that the author has the ability to apply the necessary techniques. The analysis and related commentary leaves one in no doubt that the work is sound and valuable. In particular, useful and practical findings are arrived at.” Examiner’s Report.
