Description
Presented by the Daylight Academy (DLA), The Daylight Award honours and supports research in the scientific understanding of daylight and its significance for health, wellbeing and a balanced ecosystem, as well as its experiential and mental value in architectural design. The intention is to underline the collaboration of disciplines that are usually considered as separate professional realms of expertise.
The Daylight Award strives to raise an integrated understanding of daylight in human life and the wider ecosystem, and to strengthen its positive impact.
DAYLIGHT RESEARCH:
The Daylight Award in Research is awarded to individuals or smaller groups of researchers or scientists, who have accomplished internationally recognized outstanding and forward-looking contributions in any relevant field of daylight research. The Award acknowledges highly original and influential advances in the areas of natural, human and social sciences. A special emphasis is on the impact of daylight on human health, nature and innovation in its technological use for any solution leading to a more healthy and sustainable society.
DAYLIGHT IN ARCHITECTURE:
The Daylight Award in Architecture is awarded to a single architect or a group of practitioners, who have created distinguished architecture, urban environments or other environmental designs that showcase an outstanding, ground breaking and experientially meaningful use of daylight. The Award also includes scholarly and artistic studies in daylight. Special emphasis is placed on projects that consider the overall quality of life, the impact of daylight on human health, performance, mental and physical wellbeing, as well as on its value for culture and society.
