Course Content
This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts and principles of lighting, teaching them the details and various compositions required to solve lighting problems in architecture. Based on the relevant literature, research is conducted into the use of natural lighting in architectural structures. In architectural project design and practice, aspects relating to natural lighting are calculated and drawn up, and scaled models are produced.
Objectives of the Course
To use the solar light energy used in natural lighting to acquire enough knowledge and skills in architectural design to make use of sufficient energy, energy efficiency, directing, lighting concepts and architectural design.
