Studies

Lighting investigated rather than presented

TFM Studies uses conceptual spaces and controlled experiments to explore lighting behaviour.

These are not presented as commissioned projects.

They are technical investigations.

A study may examine the effect of geometry, distribution, surface properties, spectrum, positioning, controls or another variable.

Each study follows a common structure:

Context → Requirement → Evidence → Computation → Decision → Outcome

Where practical, the input files, assumptions and methodology are made available so the investigation can be reproduced.

Why conceptual studies?

A controlled conceptual environment allows variables to be isolated without exposing confidential project information.

It also makes the work easier to reproduce.

The purpose is not to demonstrate a portfolio.

It is to create reusable knowledge.
