The workshop explores the relationship between natural and artificial light, delving into its role in architecture, space and human perception, both visually and in terms of well-being. Through a theoretical part, the main characteristics of lighting fixtures and the criteria for their positioning in rooms will be analysed.
In the practical part, on the other hand, lighting tools and techniques will be tested directly.
The course will culminate in a practical exercise during the final project event.
