This reconstruction study simulates daylighting patterns in a Roman house, suggesting insights into ancient architectural design.

To explore how daylighting influenced the design and experience of space in Roman houses, particularly in Pompeii.
Used LiDAR and photogrammetric techniques for accurate building documentation.
Reconstructed the House of Trebius Valens using Autodesk Revit.
Conducted lighting simulations with Light Stanza to assess daylight availability throughout the day.
Visualizations demonstrate the hourly variations of daylight in different spaces of the house.
The findings illustrate how the architectural layout maximized natural light exposure.
The study reveals the importance of natural light in Roman domestic architecture.

Nikolai Paukkonen (2025) studied this question.
