“…Griffiths and Vaughan (2020) clarified the relationship between space syntax and Historical Geographic Information System (HGIS), analyzed the data of typical cities in the 19th century, and promoted the new development of urban history [19]. Leccese et al (2020) used space syntax to estimate traffic volume in order to design appropriate lighting infrastructure, with the goal of saving energy and avoiding overly large lighting systems [20]. In China, the study of traditional urban street space based on space syntax is gradually increasing.…”

In China, rapid urbanization and the decline of the canal’s shipping function have directly led to the decline of the space and style of ancient towns with canals. The ancient town of Xixing, known to be the first canal town, is located west of the Zhedong canal section of the Grand Canal. It used to be the most active transportation hub and trade transit point in the east Zhejiang Province. However, the canal is now facing problems in protection and renewal, which require urgent attention. For example, the streets of the ancient town are separated from the water system space, the self-organizing and development ability of the ancient town has weakened, and the spatial vitality is scarce. Firstly, by comparing and analyzing whether the canal is used as a road network under two different spatial scales, the area with the highest degree of spatial integration is obtained before judging whether the canal has an important influence and control on the street spaces of the ancient town. Secondly, as the canal is no longer used as a transportation network nowadays, the internal spatial structure characteristics of streets and alleys are analyzed. Finally, the topological structure analysis is carried out in the 3 km area from the border of the planning control area, and the integrated development of the ancient town space and urban transportation network is then discussed. Further, the vitality renewal strategies of the ancient town under different spatial scales are put forward to provide the empirical basis and decision-making reference for the better sustainable development of ancient towns with canals. According to research, once the ancient town is considered on a larger urban scale, the areas with the best integration and accessibility, like the water-adjoined spaces change to intersection spaces and urban road network areas. Consequently, in order to realize the sustainable development of Xixing ancient town, the city system must overcome its shortfalls in operation. The methods and conclusions in the paper can effectively contribute to the development of the ancient town. The research significantly helps to improve the average land sharing, commercial distribution, and public facilities layout in the practice of protection and development in ancient towns and provides an empirical basis and decision-making references for relevant management departments.

“…Beyond their role as collectors of art, artifacts, and discoveries, museums also symbolize cultural, social, and scientific accomplishments [2]. Nevertheless, recent surveys indicate that museum visitors spend a mere 28 seconds in front of artworks, and in the case of Tate Modern in London, 47% of visitors are motivated by social reasons rather than the art collection itself [3].…”

Museums are artistic centers that attract people as tourist destinations, allowing them to appreciate art, and learn about history, culture, society, and science. The visual presentation of museum spaces is crucial in enhancing the appeal to visitors. It is closely tied to visual appearance and ambient illumination of the space, which can be represented by Mean Room Surface Exitance (MRSE). The objectives of this research are to determine the lighting specifications in exhibition spaces by considering lighting metrics, including MRSE and contrast, and to compare the MRSE values obtained from the calculation, simulation, and measurements from field experiments. The findings of this research indicate that the type of luminaire that can be used is a spotlight with a TAIR (Target-to-Ambient Illuminance Ratio (TAIR) of 3:1 or higher, particularly if the object needs to appear brighter than its surroundings. The error between the experimental and simulated results with the DIALux evo simulation tool was relatively low at 1.4%. However, the error between the experimental results and the calculated results was relatively high, at 25.25%, which is caused by the TAIR factor. The lowest contrast error was obtained for the displayed statue, with a 4% error in the calculation method and 0% error in the simulation method. The highest contrast error was obtained for the wall, with a 66% error in the simulation method due to differences in the room size of the simulation model and the actual space.

“…With these existing findings, light environment has been studied as a specific part of leading the emotions of crowds. For example, the luminaires used for exhibition—with different types, sources, sizes, beam angles, and CCT—could affect how participants feel about the artworks [ 25 ].…”

When Lights Can Breathe: Investigating the Influences of Breathing Lights on Users’ Emotion

Light can significantly influence users’ physiological and behavioural performance. However, how light breathing influences users’ mood regulation remains unknown. To fill this gap, this study conducted a 2-by-2 experiment (N = 20) with light breathing as the between-subject factor and light condition as the within-subject factor. Both physiological indicators and subjective indicators are measured to reflect mood regulation. The data were analysed using a generalised linear mixed model. The results showed that breathing lights are effective in regulating users’ moods. More specifically, breathing lights help users lower their electrodermal values and heart rates. Users did not report any significant difference in terms of subjective measures, which suggest that the influence of a breathing light happens unconsciously. Furthermore, this effect is significant for both cold and warm colour temperatures. Designers and engineers can use the research findings to manage user emotion when necessary.
