This course investigates the assertion that lighting design is an integral part of the overall architectural process. Steve Wright, a highly regarded Lighting Designer, explores the elements required to develop lighting sympathetic to the built form. He identifies a lighting toolkit, utilising form, reflection, shadow, surface, silhouette and colour and movement. Steve demonstrates these essential qualities of natural and artificial lighting through images of nature, classical architecture, art installations and well-known buildings and bridges.
