Lighting layouts are not the same as lighting design.

Quality lighting design begins with concept development - a form of programming for the visual environment that considers many elements such as perception, contrast, and visibility. This seminar outlines the steps taken on various diverse projects to address those essentials and create the desired mood, atmosphere, and functionality. The case studies span different sectors, from heritage to retail to residential, and identify the range of challenges that good design can help overcome, with many universal lessons.

At the end of the seminar, attendees will:

1. Understand the value of “lighting with intention”,

2. Recognise how project challenges and goals guide the development of a lighting design,

3. Appreciate the challenges and opportunities that lighting controls present, and

4. See how designers can deeply affect perception through lighted effects.
