Mehlika Inanici Arch 582 | Computational Lighting Design |
|
Mehlika Inanici is an Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Washington, where she teaches in the areas of computation and building performance. Professor Inanici received B. Arch (1993) and Master of Science in Building Science (1995) degrees from METU (Ankara, Turkey). She has Master of Science in Architecture (2001) and Ph.D. (2004) degrees from the University of Michigan. In her dissertation studies, she developed the Virtual Lighting Laboratory , a computation tool and methodology that transforms how physically based digital images are used in lighting analysis and design. Before assuming her current position in the fall of 2005, Dr. Inanici worked at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) as a postdoctoral fellow. She developed the Lighting Measurement, Simulation, and Analysis Toolbox. She has formulated the calibration and validation procedures to adapt High Dynamic Range photography as a luminance measurement technique and received the LBNL Outstanding Performance Award for this study. Professor Inanici is currently working on developing and demonstrating new qualitative and quantitative lighting analysis techniques that are based on per-pixel data extracted from computer-generated and digitally captured images. She has published and presented her research in international journals and conferences. She is a member of Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA), International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) and Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA). |

Christopher Meek, AIA is Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Washington and Director of the Integrated Design Lab (IDL) at the University’s College of Built Environments. In this role, he consults with design teams in the Pacific Northwest and nationally with a focus on building energy performance, daylighting, visual comfort, electric lighting, and climate responsive design. The Integrated Design Lab has extensive experience working in the high-performance office typology. Recent technical assistance and simulation support projects include a wide variety of project types including the net-zero energy Bullitt Center in Seattle, WA. Prof. Meek teaches graduate and undergraduate level courses on building design, daylighting, electric lighting, and indoor environmental quality at the UW Department of Architecture. His research has been funded by the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, regional utilities, New Buildings Institute, and the National Science Foundation. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Washington he practiced in architecture offices in Washington State, New Mexico, and New Orleans, LA. |

Lucrecia Blanco Arch 439A | Lighting Design |
|
Lucrecia studied theatrical costume, scene, history and lighting design, as well as art and photography in Argentina. Later she continued her studies in the United States, getting her Masters of Fine Arts in Theater from the University of Illinois. She taught lighting design for theater at Northern Illinois University for three years, heading the lighting design department while having her private practice. She toured with dance companies as a theatrical lighting designer before she decided to settle down and focus on architectural lighting design. She has been practicing professional lighting design for the last twelve years. She enjoys the collaboration with a creative team, she treasures designing spaces for people, and overall she thrives on learning together to find the best, most efficient, and simplest solution to a challenge. She is currently a lighting design lecturer at the University of Washington while working on her consulting business. Ms. Blanco is a Certified Sustainable Building Advisor, is LEED GA accredited, and a Member of the International Association of Lighting Designers. She currently sits on the board of Public Art Advisory Committee of King County, WA. Lucrecia currently teaches Lighting Design at the School of Architecture at University of Washington |
