THE CLASSIFICATION OF LIGHT BY THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL METHOD : A study on the factors to produce the phenomenal light (Part 1)

Abstract

The aim of this study was to classify the light phenomena that can be optically perceived in the architectural space by applying the mode of appearance of color by D.Katz. We extracted the light phenomena entirely from four documents and tried to classify all of them to these modes. As a result it became clear that eight modes, excluding surface color, and two modes that is the perception of light and illumination with surface color, are accepted as the classification criteria of <<the phenomenal light>>.
