Abstract

DAYKE (Daylighting Knowledge in Europe) is a project to investigate the daylighting knowledge and skills of Architecture students and practitioners from different countries within the European Union. This paper introduces the first stage of the research and provides results from a direct survey taken by 161 students from seven schools of Architecture: two in Italy, one in The Netherlands, two in Poland and two in Spain. The results indicate significant national differences in preference and perception of daylit spaces. They also show a lack of knowledge about daylighting metrics and regulations among the respondents. Although the research is undergoing, the preliminary data analysis indicates that there is a need for enhancing the daylight knowledge among future architects.
