Project description

In Stanislaw Lem's Star Diaries, Ijon Tichy recounts his encounter with the cyberneticist Professor Corcoran. Tichy visits Corcoran in his laboratory and sees containers with completed electron brains, which Corcoran invented without sensory organs and bodies, but with consciousness.
Room ideas for the lab were designed. Cardboard models were used to design and study daylight. 3D modeling was used to verify the results. The findings of the effect of daylight were incorporated into the design proposal for artificial lighting. The simulations of daylight and artificial lighting were developed using free software for lighting calculations. We show the models and visualizations of the lighting designs.
