Residential Lighting Design: Tips and Trends (1.5 LU)
As architects we are expected to be knowledgeable in so many aspects of building design and construction, and adding to the load what can seem like constant code product changes, it can be hard to keep up. Additionally, many of us did not take courses or do other training in lighting design, and what we learned may have been based on work in a prior office, along with updates from our experience over time. Given the impact that lighting has on the perception and feeling within a building and space, it seems wise to put some attention on this area. To that end, we will have a local lighting designer working in residential, commercial, and theater projects who will discuss working with a lighting designer as well as lighting design principles and the technical product selection.
There will be a Q & A session at the end, and the opportunity to submit questions and comments via chat on zoom for those who attend online.
