Focusing on how light can shape people’s experience of interior and exterior spaces, this module gives you the opportunity to explore, develop, and critically evaluate creative lighting solutions. You will investigate the perception of light, the interaction of colour and movement, and how lighting can enhance mood, wellbeing, and atmosphere in a space.Through workshops, site visits, and input from industry experts, you will explore working with daylight, artificial light, and light–material interactions, testing your ideas to develop both technical skills and conceptual approaches at scale. You will also develop your own process to communicate your designs, using photography, sketching, drawing, or digital methods as appropriate. You will learn to calculate lighting levels and apply principles that support your creative decisions. Sustainability will be integrated into your approaches, encouraging you to consider responsible, innovative lighting solutions and design choices.Throughout the module, you will receive guidance and feedback on your experiments and design explorations, culminating in a lighting installation for either an interior or exterior public space that demonstrates your skills, creativity, and professional standards.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Conceptualise and develop innovative lighting designs integrating artificial and/or natural light within interior and exterior contexts.

LO2: Analyse, test and resolve advanced lighting design challenges using industry-standard tools.

LO3: Plan, document, and justify complex lighting schemes, applying appropriate lighting calculations and design principles.

LO4: Communicate lighting concepts effectively through photography, sketching, drawing, or digital methods.

LO5: Critically reflect on and evaluate your creative and technical decisions, demonstrating autonomy and professional judgement.
