The course introduce the students to the lighting design problems, facing them through the learning of the laws and the basic techniques of the discipline. Starting with the notions about light as a physical and measurable phenomenon, a detailed study on visual and colour perception will follow. Natural and artificial light will be studied through the indoor and outdoor applications a focus on the interaction between light and materials.

Contents
The class introduces lighting design fundamentals, concerning physics, visual perception, color theory. Daylighting and electrical lighting will be studied in indoor and outdoor applications, considering buildings geometries, materials reflecting proprieties, light sources proprieties.
Lighting fundamentals will be applied on design, passing through the study of light sources, fixtures, components, available on the market in order to control light diffusion and consumption parameters, with a focus on new technologies and technical recommendations.
Lighting system will be studied along the whole life, project, installation, management, maintenance, removal, disposal. A focus is dedicated on financial methods that let big installations to be sustainable.
A critical analysis of lighting projects, significant in different indoor and outdoor application fields will drive students toward a workshop, in which a project will be developed inside group of 2 components.
Verification of learning
Final test concerns presentation of workshop materials, together with an interview finalized to verify learning level of classes contents.

Type of delivery of the course
Lectures are provided In the fields of lighting and multimedia systems, also as a mean of architectural and client identity, architectural acoustics and electroacoustics design. National and international case studies are analyzed. The submentioned metodologies are applied on the project of a temporary exhibition and immersive and interactive space dedicated to story telling .Attendance
Attendance is required for at least 75% of the lessonsType of evaluation
Oral exam and project evaluation, based on originality level of the proposed solutions, technological knowledge, richness of documentation, with a particular focus on coherency between exhibition and immersive space.
