Proposal
Throughout the Wikipedia article, "Architectural lighting design," there are several edits that I would like to make in order to improve overall quality and understanding of the topic.

Two things that I would begin with are in the "Lead" section of the article. It mentions "electric" and "daylight", however it does not have a general overview of either of these topics in the article, although there is a "Day lighting" section. I would like to create a new section to explain the overall idea of the concepts, naming one of them Electric lighting and adding to the preexisting topic "Day lighting.” In the Electric lighting section, I plan to describe how it is an electric source of lighting and how it is utilized to enhance the function and aesthetic of a space. For the "Day lighting section," currently it explains a theory that I am not familiar with, and I do not know how it pertains to natural daylight. In this section, I would like to describe how the sun is the primary source, how we can harness this light to use in spaces, and how it can benefit people's physical and mental health. I would utilize both of the textbooks that I found below, Designing Interiors and Lighting Design Basics to find information for the sections. I think that this would be a good addition to the article, because it can help give readers a more basic understanding of the two main concepts of architectural lighting along with supporting the "Lead" section of the article.

I am planning on also adding a new section to the article titled, "Lighting design layers," where I will explain that there is specific lighting for each layer, which includes: the task layer, ambient layer, decorative layer, daylight layer, and focal layer. I will also explain how this is often used when designing a lighting plan. To create this section, I will use research from Lighting Design Basics.

Additionally, I would like to make another edit to the article, "Architectural lighting design." In the "Terminology" section, there is a warning notice stating that there needs to be citations added. I plan to add the appropriate citations and references for this section through the source that I found called Lighting Design Basics. I would also like to add several additional terms to this section, such as "lamps", "luminaires," "wallwashers," "adjustable accent fixtures," and "wall grazing fixtures."

Lastly, in the "Overview" section of the article, there is a tag that states that a citation is needed after a sentence about how lighting design not only impacts the aesthetics of a space, but also the function and overall wellbeing of the users. I found a section on this in the source, Lighting Design Basics. I plan on properly citing this part of the article to help make it appear more reliable to the reader.

I think that making these edits will really add to the overall purpose of the article, which is to provide an overview of the topic of "Architectural lighting design."
