It’s our internal body clock known as the “circadian rhythm.” But what happens when our body clock goes out of sync with the natural rhythms of day and night? That question has been increasingly important since the invention of electricity. For more than 100 years, we’ve been living in a world that increasingly defies darkness. When night falls, cities shine bright and homes are bathed in light.
A typical September night in Times Square, New York City. Scientists at Rockefeller University have been running experiments with mice to find out how they react to disruptions in their natural circadian rhythm. What happened to the 20-hour day mice? Interior light effects on human mood and social behaviour. Interior light effects on human mood and social behaviour [Introduction] Nowadays, the scientists, designers and psychologists are believed that the lights can play the important roles on human mood and people social behaviours.
In this way, this research area introduced new concept in industrial, commercial and home designs in few last decades. Referred to as "the prime animator of space," light is a subject of broad application within the environmental design disciplines .Recently, scholars posit that light is most often applied to an interior design solution as a functional additive rather than considered first as an essential design element along with form, colour, texture, and others.
This raises the question of how designers', educators', and students' approaches to designing with light might be redefined to regard light as a significant contributor to spatial compositions.

If you ever want to see prime examples of human ingenuity go for a walk through one of the many shanty towns which sits at the outskirts of nearly every major city in the developing world.
There you will find entire neighborhoods constructed of trash, discarded materials, and just about anything that the occupants can find. It is amazing what structures people can make with only a sheet of corrugated metal, plastic sheeting, a stack of cinder blocks, milk crates, and miscellaneous pieces of plastic. But one of the most ingenuitive adaptions to these houses was referred to me by my friend Mike Mcquire, who sent me a video which shows a way to make natural interior light using only a plastic bottle, water, and bleach.

Green innovations and new technology at Light Middle East 2011. Experts estimate that GCC countries could save as much as $400m in energy bills and 5.1 megatonnes of CO2 emissions annually by switching to LED lighting technology.
The trend towards using LED and CFL technology is being seen in many of the large-scale infrastructure projects in the region such as the Yas Hotel and Marina, the Sheikh Zayed Mosque and the upcoming Dubai Waterfront. “Going by current trends in the region, there is a lot of interest in the latest developments in the lighting design and technology fields, especially with regard to its impact on the environment and potential for energy and cost savings,” said Ahmed Pauwels, chief executive officer, Epoc Messe Frankfurt.
“The global lighting market is currently going through tremendous changes. Increased efficiency standards, a growing concern with energy efficiency and breakthroughs in the LED sector are all factors that are affecting the market,” he added. Story continues below.
