In the beginning of creation, says The Bible, the earth was formless and empty, and darkness prevailed. In the process of evolution, the first feat of Stone Age man was the invention of fire by rubbing two stones. Civilization has gone far ahead, and so has the concept of lighting. What was earlier considered a mere necessity, has today transcended its utilitarian value and become a vital aesthetic accessory. Lighting can make or break an interior.
Bad lighting can create bad shadows and push away textures.
Natural lighting is not something that everyone enjoys - so one relies on artificial means to make up for what is not available, especially in the case of offices. A space with its various components defines the length and breadth of an area - but lighting, natural or otherwise, gives it emotion and character. It's all about a feeling, a mood and a sense of comfort. Lighting should evoke a good and positive reaction within you. Since personal choices differ, this positive reaction can be variable.
