Abstract EN
This research focuses on the exterior wall of architecture design of Hong Kong and Penang, it also analyzes how light pollution affects human life.
As we know, Hong Kong prefers to use steel to build skyscrapers and middle or high rise buildings.
However, Penang prefers to use concrete to do the construction.
So, there are some advantages and disadvantages between the glass curtain wall and concrete wall in Hong Kong and Penang.
The researcher used 400 samples to determine effect of the glass curtain wall and concrete wall on human life in Hong Kong and Penang separately.
The result is light pollution created by glass curtain wall in Hong Kong is a serious problem to residents’ life.
The glass curtain wall seriously glaze people’s eyes who drive or walk on the street.
Thus, many car accidents were caused by this problem.
The concrete wall is more often contaminated by fungus and difficult to clean.
But, concrete wall is more natural and green for humans.
Therefore, from the sustainable aspect that concrete is more healthy for humans, the previous researchers suggest that if the exterior wall is a mixture of both glass curtain and concrete it will not cause light pollution and will be easily involved in the natural environment.
