THE INFLUENCE OF THE EVOLUTION OF DAYLIGHTING SYSTEMS OF EXHIBITION SPACE ON THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE MUSEUMS BUILDING
Abstract
The paper deals with the architecture of museums as dependent on the ways of lighting the exhibition space. The work focuses on the analysis of the influence of daylighting systems on shaping the museum's architecture in the period from the Renaissance to modern times. The method of work includes studying literature and the case study of the objects characteristic of the presented concepts and lighting systems. The results of the research confirm the significant impact of the daylighting system on the evolution of the architectural form of the museum and on creating the archetypes ng of the buildings for museology. The historical archetypes which obtained widespread acceptance, have become the reference forms for creators of museum architecture through the centuries, up to modern times. In contemporary architecture, new interpretations of conventional models become transformed by technologically advanced materials and construction solutions, as well as digital design methods.
