HISTORY OF LIGHTING - Brief history of natural and artificial lighting through examples. - Brief history of representation of light. - Brief history of the sources of light.LIGHT CULTURE - Feel, understand, express the light through its interaction with us and with the objects around us. - Become aware of light in a more intuitive and spontaneous way. - Role, interpretation and metaphors of light and shadow. - Light language: objectives and characteristics of lighting: direction, color, intensity, temporality.LIGHT AND VISION - Characteristics of waves, frequency spectrum, dual nature of light. - The human eye and the vision: properties of the eye, visual process, creation of images, curve of sensitivity of the eye. - Optical properties of matter: reflection, absorption, refraction. - Color: theory and symbolism of color, classification of colors, color temperature, chromatic reproduction index, psychic effects of color and its harmony.LUMINOUS MAGNITUDES - Luminous flux, luminous efficacy, luminous intensity. Photometry. Illuminance. - Fundamental principles of Illuminance: the law of the inverse of the squared distance, the cosine law. LAMPS - Thermo radiation and luminescence. - Conditions that lamps must gather. - Incandescent lamps, discharge lamps, LED. - Considerations on consumption, maintenance and sustainability efficiency in lighting solutions.LUMINAIRES AND THEIR CLASSIFICATIONS - Classification according to regulations, photometry, or according to the distribution of the luminous flow. - Constructive features, materials, optics, accessories, filters, effects.LIGHTING PROJECT - Analysis of spaces and lighting typologies for different spaces. - How different lighting solutions affect space. - Criteria to establish the most suitable lighting system. - Expression and representation of light: Sketch, studies, renders, images of reference. - The technical documentation of the lighting project. - Engineering notions of facilities. - Electricity notions: how does electricity work in a building, how it is planned and performed in work. - Calculation programs and simulation of light levels: practical workshop in which the students will learn the basics for using a light calculation program. - Normative aspects, and notions of professional practice: introduction to - the applicable regulations and inherent issues in the professional practice. - Development of exercises and application on intermediate projects. - Development of a complete final lighting project.
