Abstract
Abstract:
Lighting units are considered one of the basics of daily life, as they are an essential element in the home, school, workplace, shops, and even in the streets and gardens, we cannot do without them, and with the multiplicity of these places and the functional diversity in them and with the multiplicity of materials that are used in the manufacture of lighting units such as metals, wood, glass, etc., there are many obstacles that the designer must overcome in order to reach the best results that achieve aesthetic and functional value in the design of glass lighting units.
This research studies the different glass units, especially those used in lighting units of various types, with the multiplicity of production methods for glass units such as blowing and pressing, or for units assembled from a number of prefabricated parts such as units consisting of glass slides, solid or evacuated tubes, etc., which in turn affects the installation methods used to assemble these units according to their production method which determines their structural form, as well as studying the auxiliary materials that are used for installation in the lighting unit, to reach an integrated vision that shows the extent of the relationship and impact of the diversity of the formal side (the structural form) on the practical side (the method of installation), and thus on the overall general shape of the lighting unit and the type and function of this unit.
Problem: The need to identify the most important considerations regarding the diversity of a glass unit's constructive body and its impact on the methods of its installation in lighting units.
Objective: The study aims to identify the most important considerations to be followed during the design process in order to achieve the functional aspect of the installation of different glass units in the lighting units.
The importance: Contributing to determining considerations for the installation of different glass units in lighting units to ensure access to optimal functions and aesthetics of glass lighting units. As a reference basis for designers when designing lighting units.
Research hypothesis: that by studying the diversity of the structural bodies of the glass units, it is possible to devise the most appropriate ways to install them in the lighting units.
Research limits: glass lighting units - industrial glass production methods.
Methodology: the comparative analytical method
