Drawing
of the use of artificial light with the skylights
(page 9)
“The
artificial lighting followed the
same principles of the daylighting. The light was
designed to fall on the book
diagonally and at all directions in order to avoid
shadows. The placement of
the fixtures were between the skylight openings. It is
possible that Aalto was
trying to mimic where the natural daylight came in, in
order to achieve similar
surroundings and environment when comparing the day to
the evening.”
