Natural lighting makes architectural
work as a visual work can be enjoyed visually. Geometric shapes and patterns
that produce the composition of buildings, both in form and space, to the level
of architectural and structural detail, can only be enjoyed visually when
exposed to adequate light. In general, natural light does have a big role in
architecture and makes it more meaningful. The presence of architecture is not
only for visual satisfaction, but also for serving human activities. These
goals really need to be supported by the role of natural lighting.
Natural light from the sun that
enters the building allows humans to interact with the outdoors. Relationship
with the outdoors is very important because it creates a feeling of being safe
and comfortable. If humans are indoors without knowing their position outside
the room, they will feel uncomfortable and unsafe, especially when someone
imagines what the conditions outside the building are. In this case, natural
light provides orientation even if someone is in the room.
Rooms that have access to natural
light will become more attractive. The room has warmth so that the activities
in it can run well. Natural light also has a positive impact on human health,
both physically and mentally. Because in this modern age more and more
activities are carried out indoors, architectural designs must provide access
to natural light in each room as needed.
Good light quality from sunlight can
create a better interior building condition, both interior design and elements
in it. The furniture in the room will look better with the natural light that
brighten it, especially for furniture from natural materials such as wood,
bamboo or rattan. Natural furniture that is coated with transparent paint will
look shiny when exposed to natural light. Natural light can show a natural
impression in the room.
Natural light is needed in
architecture with various components and various objectives to be achieved. The
need for visual information both in enjoying and doing activities is one reason
for the importance of natural lighting in architecture, both indoors and
outside the building. Natural light is also needed in landscape arrangement as
part of the architecture so that it can be enjoyed by the sense of sight or to
show other elements, such as plants. Humans as building users also need a good
feeling in their activities, so beautiful and neat architectural designs and
the role of natural light make people more enthusiastic about their activities.
Betterpad-Ray mockups (Benteng Terpadu
Raya / Great Integrated Fortress "Mural Wall") are designed by
displaying compositions of various forms which give rise to their own aesthetic
value with the role of natural light, God willing, can be realized. One of the
most visible forms of geometry is the large circle on the Betterpad-Ray yard
design with attractive images and colors. The Betterpad-Ray yard is designed so
that it is not boring and comfortable to look at. Usually not all building
yards are given geometric patterns or certain images. But as a complex design
of buildings that pay attention to aesthetics, the building yard is something
that must be given a touch of art, especially if it can be used as a complex of
museum buildings or arts and cultural centers. Then there is a large building
called Civilization Pavilion (Pendapa Peradaban) which is useful as a public
space to gather and conduct positive activities attended by many people.
The Civilization Pavilion roof design
from the front looks like a trapezoidal pile that gets up and down smaller. In
the Betterpad-Ray Mockup design, the shape of the pendapa roof has a green
color because green is a symbol of fertility and is like a shady shade tree in
it. In the Civilization Pavilion, there were also large columns supporting the
roof of the pavilion. In Pendapa Peradaban there is a balcony with a guardrail
with detailed design. All of these elements can be seen and enjoyed visually
well if there is natural light from the sun. If at night, of course the beauty
of the shape of the building is not visible. While electric lights usually only
brighten the inside or side of the building. Whereas in the daytime, sunlight
can brighten interior of the Civilization Pavilion and show objects along with
various shapes and patterns that are in pendapa. In addition, activities in
pendapa can run well because of the amount of sunlight entering in a relatively
more amount than the building with the closing wall. Besides Civilization
Pavilion, natural light also influences the visual appearance of Betterpad-Ray
Main Building, Shahada Mosque (Masjid Syahadat), and others. Simply put,
natural light allows people to see buildings, know their position with each
other, and see parts of the building in detail.
With natural light, people who are
in the building can find out the outside conditions and position inside the
building with the window or side of the pavilion without a cover wall. With the
design of Pendapa Peradaban which without a cover wall and its position in the
front, the people inside can directly see the conditions outside, especially
what happens in the courtyard of the building. Natural light also plays a role
in displaying the interior of Betterpad-Ray buildings during the day, such as
the Betterpad-Ray Main Building and the Shahada Mosque. So the shape and
arrangement of the space in the building can be seen clearly and the people
inside can move and move safely and comfortably. Various objects or decorations
that are in the room can also be seen well with natural light, especially if
there is furniture from wood, bamboo, or rattan that increasingly looks shiny
and clean when coated with transparent paint.
In addition to buildings, natural
light is an important role in showing the appearance of the composition between
various buildings designed by Betterpad-Ray with the presence of other elements
in the form of trees, ponds, fields, and others. Trees with green leaf colors
look beautiful when exposed to natural light. A clean pool exposed to natural
light will show the clarity of the water and what is inside the pool, such as
fish and rocks. The existence of trees, pond, and stones can create a natural
impression that is increasingly clear in the presence of natural light. The
combination of buildings with natural elements shows that all human activities
are very dependent on the environment and is an obligation for humans to be
able to interact with nature properly, including the use of natural light that
is appropriate in architecture.

is an error especially in this article.
