COURSES

The courses are aimed at working practitioners and brand new university graduates and interested people. The courses will be held in different places in Hamburg and Mexico, Ixtla, depending on their content. The programme covers a broad spectrum, ranging from artificial lighting, daylight design, masterplan design and electrical engineering to basic project management units.

Together we will make a journey starting with a single ray of light in a dark space progressing to o daylight environment.We aim to create an understanding of the shape of light due to environmental factors that interact with it and how this can produce a design/objets of light.

The workshop teaches basic concepts of light, theoretically and in practical exercises. In addition to objectively measurable light values, the observation of light phenomena is essential for lighting designers and architects. How do surfaces reflect, how do materials transmit, how does atmosphere arise in rooms?

We will explore the concept of a moment, Natural Light and and the creation of a sensorial instalation.

Together we will make a lighting journey beginning with a single ray of light in a dark space and progressing to bright daylight environment.

A good lighting professional is both an artist and a technician. Sensitivity is required in the observation, perception and description of light, whilst resolve and technical knowledge is required in the planning process.

Google and co have changed the way we think about our workplaces. Today’s offices are no longer cube farms but consist of individual spaces that have both technical and atmospheric lighting. This workshop combines theory and practice. You will design the lighting for a workplace project starting with signing a contract.

Hospitality, residential and recreation projects call for specific solutions that create a unique atmosphere and ensure a balanced interplay of light and material. They require designers not only to deviate from standard solutions but also to resolve technical challenges, for example found in damp environments.

A good lighting professional is both an artist and a technician. Sensitivity is required in the observation, perception and description of light, whilst resolve and technical knowledge is required in the planning process.This “Essentials of Light” Master Class will be conducted as a workshop taught jointly by a lighting designer and an expert.

Sustainable lighting design places human needs at its centre – and daylight design is a first step. Not governed by modern sustainability standards highly sophisticated facades designs complement regional buildings traditions. A master of sustainable architecture will take you through the stages of integrative design, placing emphasis on technical and esthetical aspects.
