Space is a kind of limitation that human being realize in a natural environment
to an aim oriented, a kind of artificial metamorphosis, an installation that express the social
organization. The space that designed is evaluated as a shell to express the concept which
is created in mind as functional and symbolical. In space designing interior space and the
shell which is the reflection of that volume are consist of the fact that to complete each
other. The choice and application of all the elements which compose the concept of the
space such as color, texture, material are the result of thinking with spatial identity. One of the most important fact is the lighting in spatial installation. In industrial societies,
daily time spent indoors increases gradually. In line with this increase, the need for artificial
lighting has augmented. The concept of illumination is very strong exposition tool with
the features of to determination, emphasize, limitation, provides the perception of third
dimension. Apart from its use to enable seeing, artificial lightning has other effects that
could not be overlooked. It has grade importance to perceive spatial characteristics and
to remember them. The user depends on the form of space, illumination in space and the
properties of lighting system that is used in space when giving a meaning to the space.
The designs that are aware of the effects of architectural lighting other than the visual
would affect, in addition to visual performance, the spatial perception and psychology of
people who spend most of their time indoors with artificial lighting. Therefore, the issue
should be tackled in multidisciplinary terms by conceiving lighting a part of design. This
study seeks to draw attention to the uses of architectural lighting beyond its practical
effect on seeing.
