Course Content (Syllabus)
During this course there will be analysed an overall approach of Lighting, the science of Light and its technique. Through an historical review, theoretical approaches, presentation and analysis of monuments and buildings, the basic principles of light and the approach of working with light will be presented. The main purpose is to approach lighting as a design tool for highlighting the spatial qualities, the different uses, the forms, the materials.
This course presents specialized principles and techniques of lighting the interior spaces of monuments, not only presented in historical sources but also in contemporary examples. These principles aim to i)highlight the function of the monument, ii)create the appropriate aesthetics and atmosphere and iii)create a Landmark.
The course includes presentations of monuments, clarification of the methods of orientation and lighting of their interior spaces, analysis of design principles, approach of lighting’s methodologies, as well as presentation of design tools and lighting materials and technologies.
