Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module
See Curriculum for Master of Sience in Lighting Design 2014, 1 semester or similarContent, progress and pedagogy of the module
Develop an understanding of creating with light with a focus on an interactive lighting design through media technology and human/conceptual interaction. The students must find a specific context, function and theme where it is possible to define a lighting design project that must show solutions on several levels such as functional, technical, aesthetic, etc.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
Students who complete the module will obtain the following qualifications:
- Understanding of the core elements of lighting in regards to the interactive interplay between human, context, function and light
- Ability to describe the lighting fundamentals and the relationship between simulations/renderings of light as design elements
- Understanding how light can be used as an interactive design element
- Knowledge of creating a project – from concept sketches, programming, mock-ups, tests, technical drawings and realisation
- Must be able to see, appreciate and analyse lighting design projects, theories, principles and methods
Skills
Students who complete the module will obtain the following qualifications:
- Ability to apply light and use technology to create intelligent and/or interactive effects in a virtual or real space
- Ability to analyse lighting designs according to scientific lighting theories
- Ability to apply light design theories, principles and methods to the process of creating lighting design
- Ability to identify problems and programmes where lighting design creates holistic solutions
Competences
Students who complete the module will obtain the following qualifications:
- Ability to create and present holistic lighting design projects by applying the right knowledge about light design, tools and scientific methods into the design process
- Ability to analyse, communicate and discuss research-based knowledge in the area of lighting design
