Abstract
This study aimed to explore lighting designs that consider children’s lives. To this end, two children were selected as participants. To examine how their lives were intertwined with lighting, we attempted to experience their space with them and see it from their perspective. As a result, the lighting design in the children’s space was found to emit uniform and quantified light. Hence, they were enveloped in artificial light, and neither natural light, nor space, nor the children were considered. To overcome this, a lighting design was planned using lighting fixtures that had not been previously used. In the planning process, the children’s living space, natural light, and lives were considered and included. The space, with its installed lighting design, ensured a calm and warm atmosphere, and the children’s play was qualitatively enriched. Therefore, this study suggests that lighting designs that consider light, space, and children are enabled with only lighting that is not used in real life. Further, children’s lives can be qualitatively changed; and this is possible for anyone who is mindful of their environment paying attention.
