    Assessment of Lighting Strategies in Art Galleries: A Comparative Case Study of Selected Art Galleries in Lagos State
    (3rd International Conference on Energy and Sustainable Environment (IOP Publishing), 2022) Ekhaese, Eghosa N.; Solaja, A. O.
    Light is so important in our everyday lives that it effects user experiences of spaces as well as the user's overall well-being for a large portion of the day in the built environment. Lighting, among the other aspects that make up the design of spaces, is an important characteristic in a building because it is the primary means of appreciating art and culture. The study aimed to assess purposively selected art galleries as the basis for determining the best lighting strategies to be adopted in the design of an art gallery in Lagos, Nigeria. This study addressed two key objectives – identify the existing lighting strategies used in the assessed art galleries to recommend the best lighting strategies to be used and ascertain how the lighting strategies are implemented. A qualitative research method using case study approach was employed in the research. Content and narrative analyses were used to analyse data. Findings show a significant need for daylight to be implemented alongside artificial lighting in an art gallery. The results align with current global trends towards sustainability.

    Effects of Sustainable Lighting Strategies on Users’ Patronage of Visual Art Centres in Lagos, Nigeria
    (Covenant Journal in Research & Built Environment 8(2), 2020) Ekhaese, Eghosa N.; Omoijiade, Joshua
    This paper set out to identify the relationship between the sustainable design of lighting within a visual art centre and its effect on the patronage of users in the study area. The study employed a mixed methods approach using case study analysis and questionnaires to collect data. In the course of research two art galleries namely; Nike Art gallery and Hour glass art gallery were compared with the prior deemed to be more sustainable with its integration of lighting; and the results of the amount of patronage compared to determine if the effect of sustainable lighting strategies on user patronage was indeed significant if existent at all. The study at the onset, hypothesised that an art centre integrating more sustainable lighting strategies can be expected to demand more patronage from users as the users are intuitively attracted to the benefits of such a design. Upon completion of the paper it was concluded that the levels of patronage observed did not vary greatly between either gallery. The study recommends further studies on a larger scale to arrive at more generalisable conclusions
