Description of module content:

This module aims to provide an understanding light and colour in spatial design.

As directed by tutors, case studies will be presented and discussed in tutorials to support project-based studies.

Learning Outcomes for module:

LO1: Manipulate and engage in principles of light and colour in designed spaces.
LO2: Apply knowledge of colour and lighting techniques in spaces.
LO3: Prepare industry standard lighting documentation [specification & production information]
LO4: Utilise a problem solving approach to lighting design and application of colour
LO5: Construct 3D CAD renderings and use specific presentational skills for light and colour in spaces.
