Feeling, understanding and expressing light through its interaction with us and the objects around us. Light is the most malleable material for creating visual, stylistic images – a material no event can dispense with it. This course offers an in-depth study of its expressive characteristics. With the explosion in new technologies and their ever-increasing use, the lighting designer – a fairly recent player on the stage – is now a key figure in the design of any space.
Programme
The course aims to give an overall vision of the art of lighting and to analyse the mechanisms used to articulate it and its related functions from a technical and stylistic point of view. The programme covers the subject of light and design from an intuitive, experimental and aesthetic perspective and tackles technical questions relating to creating feasible lighting solutions. Based on the culture of light and lighting for events, we analyse the sources and different kinds of lighting and combine theoretical lighting concepts with different in situ experiences with trips to companies, museums and theatres, which make up the different pieces of work to be carried out over the course of the year. We equip students with the tools to carry out lighting projects in a wide variety of different spaces, including interior, exterior, façades, one-off architectural pieces, public and commercial spaces, exhibitions and museums, amongst others.
Target
The course is aimed at design students and professionals interested in lighting, not only in terms of its technical, functional or aesthetic side, but also its creative facet – a key component in the design of any project.
