Lighting Observation Feb 22
The back of Starbucks in the Student Center 3:34 PM Thursday
Objective: The student center, in general, is lit up from the huge windows that let the sun in. There are also hanging lights from the ceiling. The whole area is very bright and overall well lit. However, in the back of Starbucks, there is a wall that stops part of the window light from coming in. This wooden wall has holes in it, so it allows for some light to come in and it creates an orange tint. It is much darker compared to the rest of the Student Center and it has streaks of light.
Subjective: The back of Starbucks feels like a dimmer, romantic, and more intimate spot, because there is a contrast of the bright student center. It is like an orange little cave and the lighting makes it feel secluded from the rest of the setting.
