UNCG Library Tower
This space has very dimly lit with small amounts of natural light that makes this space feel tense and unpleasant. There is uniform, overhead, dim, artificial lighting and some peripheral natural lighting. The problems with the dim lighting in this space are accentuated by what natural lighting is there by creating a lot of high contrast. This natural light really exposes the surfaces that it touches and over powers what little artificial light there is in the space. It also creates stark shadows in the areas that neither lighting really reaches. I think that this combination of the small amount of natural light combined with the dim, patterned, artificial lighting that makes this space feel so uncomfortable.
EUC/Library Tunnel
This space's lighting gives it a relaxed and pleasant feel. The overhead, non-uniform, bright artificial lighting as well as a lot of bright illuminating natural light. With so much light from both artificial and natural sources this space is very well lit and there is a lot of lighting but not to the point where it becomes overbearing. The darker colors used in this space also help to allow the space to be brighter without looking washed out. The lighting in this space is comfortable enough that you would be able to read, do homework, or just relax comfortably in this space.
