Course Objectives The aim is to convey the technical and artistic aspects of lighting in the context of human needs and comfort, providing a theoretical basis for all design studios. This course addresses human needs and comfort in relation to artificial and natural lighting. Its aim is to acquaint each student with the basic concepts how artificial and natural lighting may be utilized, controlled, and modified as an integral part of interior architectural design.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Identify user needs regarding both artificial and natural lighting.
  • Take on the responsibility of a designer to ensure the well-being of humanity on a global scale, considering the social and environmental impacts of both artificial and natural lighting applications.
  • Propose original design solutions for both artificial and natural lighting.
Course Content Preparing the theoretical base for the Design Studios by addressing human needs and comfort in relation to the artificial lighting as an art and science.
