| Summary: | Rule of thumb in daylighting has been responsible for generating typologies
of building forms and elements. However, not all of these typologies perform
well in daylighting. This article briefly reviews the concept of typology in
architecture and proposes its application in daylighting study. Based upon
the literature and recent researches in daylighting typology, the authors argue
for the use of typological approach as means for analyzing and generating
rule of thumb in daylighting. Simulations are conducted using Lumen Micro 8
and AGi32 softwares. The findings are suggestive that the typological approach
adapted in the simulations can contribute towards development of a new rule
of thumb in daylighting. |
