| Abstract | This thesis further develops research undertaken about the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Originally admired for its beautiful, shiny, curved façade, the concert hall was also noteworthy as a source of visual glare and heat. These concerns led to the County of Los Angeles hiring of a consultant to quantify the problems and suggest resolutions. The solution undertaken was to sand key problem areas of the stainless steel façade. After this treatment, complaints stopped, but no one tested the actual resulting levels of thermal and visual glare. This study re-examines these issues after the surface treatment. An infrared thermometer and dataloggers were used to record mid-air temperature and ground temperature in front of the adjoining REDCAT theater. Using photographs of Disney Hall and luminance histograms, visual glare scores were evaluated. The comparison between previous and current research results tells whether or not the remediation was successful to reduce the glare problems. |
