| Course Objectives | It has been critical that architects understand the environmental implications of their designs like light. ARCH321 covered natural and artificial lighting. It is aimed to provide the necessary knowledge and application/skills for competently integrating architectural lighting in to design process. Therefore, designing comfortable, efficient and stimulating visual environments for the buildings occupants becomes to main aim. The course deals with understanding basic principles of partially day and mainly electric lighting. The main focus will be on integrating light and space through design while supporting human activity. |
