Main themes
This course aims to train future architects in strategies and design tools integrating the space-light dimension; more specifically this module develops the relationship between space and light, both natural and artificial.
Projecting spaces with light is based on an analytical approach, integrating the sensitive dimension: establishing "light strategies" materialized by "light effects" and generated by "light mechanisms".
Understanding the link between space and light implies understanding its sensitive and poetic dimension, through theoretical input, in situ observations and life-size experiments.
Objectifying any project with light requires mastery of computer lighting software: from the insertion of photometric data to the reading and interpretation of results, and the expression of the atmosphere obtained through synthetic images.
At the end of the course, students will be able to design spaces, both indoor and outdoor, integrating light and to draw up lighting plans for environments built on the basis of spatial perceptions and the way these places are used.
