Context-oriented lighting strategy in urban spaces (using space syntax method) case study: historical fabric of Isfahan

Light is a primary element in the field of architecture and urban design. solid volumes and enclosed spaces, color and texture can only be appreciated fully when they are imaginatively lit, and a skilful designer will use lighting in subtle ways to reveal the elements and also the buildings. reaching a suitable solution for lighting in urban spaces, a process is needed which can encompass all different aspects in the field of lighting. in this way, we used the available data-bases for evaluating different aspects of urban spaces, by taking into account the situation measurement and available evaluations. for context-oriented urban spaces via space syntax we used integration parameter (local and global). by studying the organizer structure and its prioritizing, we could achieve the lighting originated from the context. in this paper, based on the historical importance of isfahan city, its historical fabric would be considered. the research method here is analytic-descriptive regarding modeling and simulation process. the results of this study are showing that the provided process can be applied practically for lighting by considering the urban context. so this study has practical aspects and it can make a suitable strategy for lighting urban design and planning.
