There was a great deal of concern at the conceptual
stage of this project about eye adaption walking from a brightly lit
space into an exhibition area with levels of no greater than 50 lux.
There was also concern as to how we could stop the spill of daylight
into the sensitive exhibition areas. After extensive daylight studies
and working with the architect, we agreed that the tensile fabric structure
covering the main volume that accessed the exhibition spaces should
have a transmission factor of no greater than 10 per cent. Each of the
exhibition spaces was protected by a solid wall on entry that controlled
daylight spill and provided an initial adaption zone. Although academic
principles would suggest that the area for eye adaption was insufficient,
in reality it was more than adequate for this testing arrangement.
