• The two-year Master's degree program Architectural Lighting Design is an international course taught in English.
• Students attend lectures and receive practical training regarding the application of daylight and artificial lighting into architecture.
• Particular emphasis will be put on the interrelation of man, light, and space. Light is considered an integral part of the holistic concept of architecture.
• In addition to the basics of architectural lighting design, health issues will also be addressed.
• Light in relation to health and wellness, which are priorities in the current curriculum, are important topics for the future and need further understanding and research.
• The international Master‘s Degree Course in Architectural Lighting Design aims at viewing lighting design together with architecture as a whole.
• This implies creative as well as technical aspects of light. The main area is, apart from the preoccupation with daylight, artificial lighting in interior and outside environments.
• A qualified lighting designer as described has acquired skills in the fields of electrical engineering, air-conditioning, architecture, and interior design. He has got expert knowledge of the medium light in all its facets and can put it to work in creative design.
• In connection with architecture light must not only interprete physical and technical realities of a building but also the functional and human aspects of the relevant spaces.
• Also in lighting design it is true that only the interaction of form and function will result in a well-balanced arrangement. In contrast to the theatre, architecture is always a usable and verifiable reality to be experienced with all five senses.
• This explains the necessity of a specialized education in the field of architectural lighting. In a holistic view of buildings and light, the lighting designer is not only occupied with physical guidelines for appropriate light characteristics but also incorporates demands that are vital for the well-being and the individual perception of people.
