Through hands-on exploration in the light lab, lecture and discussion, students will develop a design process for lighting people and architecture. Topics will include: Role of the architectural lighting designer in the collaboration process Establishing design goals and a point of view Lighting interiors (retail, restaurants, offices, museums) Lighting exteriors (landscape, buildings, bridges) Entertainment lighting Light as art Technical tools (fixtures, lamps, control and dimming) A large part of class time will be devoted to hands-on experimentation of light. Students will also spend time in the light lab outside of class preparing realized lighting designs.
