The integration of daylighting into museum settings must balance the complexities of natural light, exhibition and conservation. When working with any natural material (even light), designers are confronted with extreme variability. This variability not only adds depth and nuance to a design, but it also creates its own unique challenges, especially when combined with sensitive collections and the demands of museum presentation.
The Joslyn art museum creates a perfect balance between natural and artificial lighting, creating bright, open and comfortable spaces in which the materially and chromatically rich artifacts of the Josyln collection can be enjoyed in depth.
Congratulations to the Arup team for realizing such a wonderful project and for honorable mention in this year’s Lumen Awards!
