Lighting Design for Visual Impact

Published

December 4, 2025

Categories

COURSE OVERVIEW

Through the use of a shared vocabulary, both common and specific design tools can illustrate the parallels of design principles between light and architecture. Using the concept of Visual Impact as a common denominator, the presentation is intended to be more than just an exploration of lighting design fundamentals, but the application of theory to real world dynamics. Though architecture and lighting design share a design language, lighting has the distinct advantage of deviating from the boundaries of the physical environment. As a science and art, lighting design has the unique ability to manipulate spatial characteristics of architecture and through the use of concepts and language, tools and technology, lighting design can either visually dominate or be subservient to the architectural world.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. Define Visual Impact, discuss how it can be achieved and discuss its importance in the built environment
  2. Define basic building blocks of lighting design derived from a shared vocabulary
  3. Describe basic physical, physiological, and psychological aspects of lighting design
  4. Illustrate lighting concepts, tools, and achievements
