Course Overview
Lighting design can transform the ambience, purpose and mood of a space or setting. Good lighting is a key consideration when designing residential units, office spaces, hospitals, schools or restaurants. By understanding the science and effects of lighting, spatial designers can take a deeper and more informed approach to incorporate lighting design within their scope of work.
