Space & Light Academy teaching at USN, 2022
The course introduced students to architectural lighting design at USN, exploring design history, materials, and luminaires. It combined lectures and workshops to develop practical skills and conceptual understanding for contemporary architecture.
Introduction
It was in 2017 when the first edition of the course “Introduction in Architecture & Architectural Lightning Design” started at the University College of Southeast Norway (USN).
The course objective is to pursuit through lectures and workshops the essentials of architectural lightning; from its design history, existing roles, design processes of architecture, sense of materials, and luminaire design providing an architectural lighting designer’s toolbars and concepts in contemporary architecture.
The course organized by Professors Hannu Tikka and Julle Oksanen, has been a success, continuing until today in an annual period. We will be waiting to see this year’s design proposals.
