| Abstract |
Recently, outdoor lighting of buildings has become activated in national level of Korea. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the outdoor lighting effect of historic buildings with particular reference to two traditional gates architecture - Namdaemun and Kwanghwamun. For the purpose, luminance and chromaticity of outdoor lighting are measured. The results of the study are as follows; ① Outdoor lighting of the historic buildings were mainly illuminated by the floodlights. In addition, up-lighting and accent lighting were locally used..② Basements and rooflines were specially emphasized, and they represented the night image of historical buildings. ③ Chromaticity distribution of historical building was white during the day. However, it was yellow during the night due to the color and color temperature of outdoor lighting. |
