Good lighting can make or break a space.
Beyond its utilitarian use, lighting is a powerful tool that can instantly change the way we feel and experience our environment, shaping moods and evoking emotions in a way few other design elements can. Yet despite its transformative capabilities, more often than not, lighting is treated as an afterthought rather than a core design element—often layered late into the design process without making use of its full potential. But it doesn’t have to be this way; embracing lighting design early on can be key to elevating your spaces to the next level.
Join TSA and Sasha Denisov of Lutron for an introductory webinar on this powerful design tool, starting with a foundational understanding of lighting design principles, terminology, and technologies. During this lecture, attendees will explore the essential metrics used to evaluate light, learn how lighting influences the visual experience of a space, and gain insight into key architectural lighting design considerations that support both aesthetics and functionality.
Participants in this lecture will:
- Understand the basics of how to evaluate and specify lighting performance.
- Explore key concepts such as illuminance, contrast, directionality, and colour.
- Understand how fixture selection, optical control strategies, target light levels, and fixture placement techniques can be used to achieve desired visual effects, enhance occupant comfort, and support the intended function of a space.
- Examine how the characteristics of lighting influence the perception and experience of architectural spaces.
