Architecture + Cities Research Forum: Daylighting in the Marylebone Building, London: 1970-2020

This talk presented a study on the daylighting performance of the Marylebone building, University of Westminster, London, a late modernist example of optimised daylighting design. However, the north-south symmetrical approach to the openings and the distribution of internal spaces raises questions about the efficiency of its daylighting. Through archival searches, desktop analysis, computational simulation and spot measurements, this study assessed the daylight performance of the architecture studios comparing their original and current use.
