    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Diseño y Arquitectura. Carrera de Diseño de Espacios Arquitectónicos., 2020-10-06) Ramírez Altasig, Segundo Reinaldo; Cardoso Pacheco, Pablo Daniel
    The purpose of this research work is to carry out a study of lighting as a generator of sensations in religious centres; since it has been detected that the main problem is the deficient handling of light to generate sensations, which is related to various aspects such as spaces lacking design, which consequently limits the strengthening of design in these places. For the investigation, a bibliographic and literature review was carried out, whose contributions allowed the structuring of the theoretical bases; a mixed methodology was used (quali-quantitative), heading towards the application of an interview directed to three experts in interior design and a survey applied to a sample of 396 people. The results indicated that 34.1 percent of those surveyed feel peace in a religious space; 18.9 percent express feelings of harmony; 15.7 percent manifest well-being; 11.4 percent considered satisfaction as a spiritual sensation; 12.1 percent feel happiness; 4.5 percent indicated that these spaces allow connection with deities and finally 3.3 percent appreciate the aesthetics of the place. Religious centres are characterised by the fact that they allow people to experience various emotions, so spirituality and design are key elements in giving rise to this type of experience. Based on this statistical data, the Chi Square method was applied to verify the correlation of the variables, the alternative hypothesis was accepted establishing that the illumination affects the generation of sensations in religious centers. The research concluded that interior lighting is one of the most important aspects of any living space because it has the ability to change mood; therefore, without adequate lighting, interior design and its architectural beauty cannot be experienced to its fullest capacity. Based on this precedent, a lighting manual for religious centres was drawn up as a proposal.
