The premise of architectural lighting is that there is a building. The role of architectural lighting is to serve and enhance the building, not just as an accessory to create a cohesive spatial experience.

As such, this is the intersection of art (architecture) and technology (lighting). Buildings that are illuminated or illuminated can be commercial or residential. Other areas of endeavor, such as design, also came into play. Of course, so are physics, engineering, and the psychological and physiological effects of light.

Strictly speaking, architectural lighting is the lighting of architectural design and function.
