ADI-S857 Graduate Lighting Studies

This studio course explores the design of natural and artificial lighting for interior environments. Knowledge will be acquired through lectures, readings and demonstrations. Students will apply this knowledge to design exercises, employing manual and digital simulations of light to communicate their ideas. Students will learn to measure, analyze and calculate lighting levels. They will learn to select appropriate light fixtures and integrate these into design documentation drawings. In doing so participants will learn how site and planning constraints inform lighting strategies and consider how lighting design impacts the human experience of space.
