Sunlight is a key factor architects take into account in their designs, but in most cases, theyre pretty much at the mercy of Mother Nature to provide it. However a new innovation may be set to change that.
An Italian company called CoeLux has developed an LED light that impeccably recreates the appearance of sunlight so well that both human brains and cameras cant tell the difference. Designers captured the color temperature and intensity of sunlight by recreating the same natural conditions that exist in Earths atmosphere, but on a nano scale.
When we step outside on a sunny day, the light that reaches us is actually filtered through the carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen molecules that make up the atmosphere. The excited molecules scatter the blue light the smallest wavelength more intensely than colors with larger wavelengths. This effect, known as Rayleigh scattering, is the reason the sky is blue.
Using nanoparticles, CoeLux designers essentially compressed six miles of Earths atmosphere into a few millimeters to artificially recreate Rayleigh scattering. And rather than a gas, CoeLuxs light source passes through a solid layer.
The light itself is an LED projector that emits white light in a spectrum that mimics the suns output. A sophisticated optical system (but with few details provided) creates the sensation of the distance between the sky and the sun.
What results is stunningly close to looking at the sun through a real skylight (CoeLux even makes a point to assert its website photos arent doctored in any way). Buyers can even choose from one of three different types of sunlight: tropical, Mediterranean and Nordic. Each setting is a different color temperature, and the sun shines through at a different angle.
Access to natural light has been shown to have myriad health benefits. If CoeLuxs design is convincing enough, it could be not just a beautiful addition to a room but a highly practical one too.
CoeLux envisions its lights appearing in hospitals, windowless offices and basements hundreds of feet below ground. The lights are also useful for photographers that are looking to shoot in-studio photos with natural light. The only downside for these lights, right now at least, is their price: roughly $61,000 plus $7,000 for installation.

This is the latest story from the NPR Cities Project.
In an abandoned building near Spain's Mediterranean coast, someone softly strums a guitar. Chord progressions echo through empty halls.
It's an impromptu music lesson, offered among unemployed neighbors in Alfafar, a suburb south of Valencia. The town was built in the 1960s for timber factory workers. It's high-density housing: tidy, identical two- and three-bedroom apartments, in huge blocks some 7,000 housing units in total.
But the local timber industry has since collapsed. More than 40 percent of local residents are now unemployed. A quarter of homes are vacant. Apartments that sold for $150,000 decades ago, are going for just $20,000 now.
That guitar lesson is just one way residents are using their free time and empty space creatively. And it's here that two young Spanish architects saw potential.
While still in architecture school, Mara Garca Mendez and Gonzalo Navarrete drafted a plan to re-design a high-density area of Alfafar, called Barrio Orba, using the principle of co-housing in which residents trade and share space and resources, depending on their needs.
"It's like up-cycling the neighborhood connecting existing resources to make them work," Garca explains. "For example, all this work force that's unemployed, all these empty spaces that are without use, all these elderly people that need help, all these natural resources that are not being taken care of making a project for all these things."
Through their architecture startup Improvistos, Garca and Navarrete submitted their Orba design to U.N. Habitat, a United Nations agency holding a competition for urban mass housing. And they won.

Spanish architects Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano, founders of Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos, have been awarded the 2015 Alvar Aalto Medal, Finnish architecture's most prestigious award. The pair is most commonly known for their temporary Barcel Market in Madrid, as well as various art galleries and museums in Spain, Germany, and Austria.
The Alvar Aalto Medalnamed after Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, who designed the medalis awarded every three years by The Museum of Finnish Architecture, the Finnish Association of Architects SAFA, the Architectural Society, the Alvar Aalto Foundation, and the City of Helsinki. The duo is the 12th winner of the prize and Nieto is the first woman to be presented the award.
"The work of Nieto and Sobejano demonstrates how an architect's cultural background can inspire architecture of outstanding quality and expressive power. Nieto and Sobejano's work has a primal energy ranking it among the world's most compelling statements and groundbreaking achievements in architecture," the jury commented.
In 2008, the architects earned international recognition for the Madinat al Zahra Museum in Crdoba, Spain. They most recently won a competition to design a woodland cultural center for an organization run by Estonian composer Arvo Prt.
"Their portfolio is varied and instantly recognizable, maintaining outstanding standards of creative excellence, informed by a philosophy of respect for human life and the environment," said Finnish architect Rainer Mahlamki, the jury chairman.
The announcement of the winners was made on February 3, 2015, at a seminar marking Architecture Day in Helsinki. An exhibition for the prize is on display at the Museum of Finnish Architecture until March 1, 2015.
