Cover Story: This study concerns the exterior lighting of historic buildings and cultural heritage monuments. It aims to organize a facade study approach, record individual or grouped morphological and decorative elements, and offer diverse lighting methods. The interaction between light and the architectural aspect being lighted is discovered using an experimental digital lighting simulation. Finally, lighting experts evaluate the simulation results and attest to the emotions generated by the different lighting scenarios. These results are then synthesized for an entire building facade to determine if the approach is practicable. The analysis of the results reveals the trends in each lighting scenario, leading to a variety of emotions, arising from both a specific morphological element and the entire facade. View this paper
