contents This study investigates the influence of varying illumination levels on architectural experiences by employing a comprehensive approach that combines self-reported assessments and neurophysiological measurements. Thirty participants were exposed to nine distinct illumination conditions in a controlled virtual reality environment. Subjective assessments, collected through questionnaires in which participants were asked to rate how pleasant, interesting, exciting, calming, complex, bright and spacious they found the space. Objective measurements of brain activity were collected by electroencephalogram (EEG). Data analysis demonstrated that illumination levels significantly influenced cognitive engagement and different architectural experience indicators. This alignment between subjective assessment and EEG data underscores the relationship between illuminance and architectural experiences. The study bridges the gap between quantitative and qualitative assessments, providing a deeper understanding of the intricate connection between lighting conditions and human responses. These findings contribute to the enhancement of environmental design based on neuroscientific insights, emphasizing the critical role of well-considered daylighting design in positively influencing occupants' cognitive and emotional states within built environments.
