Fundamentals of Residential Lighting takes you through the principal spaces in the home in four sessions, looking at lighting effects, techniques, and tools.
As a participant, you will learn how we see, including the perception of color and what makes objects, surfaces, and tasks stand out. You will practice visualizing, describing, and planning lighting effects using typical residential floorplans. LED technology and controls are explained and common problems will be confronted. Explanation of lighting vocabulary will help you select and shop for lighting equipment.
Following the introductory “Designing in Light and Color”, the course moves through the Kitchen, home office, dining room, living room, bedroom and bathrooms. These sessions address the significant design issues and explore various approaches to lighting each type of space.
Each sessions includes a design exercise to try on lighting ideas; home-based observation to develop critical vision; and a key issue review to reinforce understanding. Although we are working remotely, you will be able – and expected – to engage fully in the sessions.
