COLOUR APPLICATION AND LIGHTING DESIGN
Synopsis
This course is designed for Spatial Design executives/designers looking to use more effective contemporary colour applications and lighting practices to add value to their design products. The acquired skills will enable the participant to develop a competitive edge, through a more informed and confident approach to using colour and lighting in interiors.
The program focuses on the use of colour and lighting in interior spatial design schemes. Participants will learn how to introduce colour and lighting into a spatial design in a way that allows flexibility and experimentation. Useful guidelines are provided that build confidence and encourage the freedom to create newly-inspired applications and combinations.
Participants will be introduced to the importance of lighting in an interior space, the various design possibilities and the new skill-set required to build flexibility into their lighting services proposals. Participants will gain a new knowledge of the effects of lighting and ambience creation including a consideration of both the functional aspects as well as the aesthetic values. For colour applications, participants will investigate the history and the psychology of colour to discover how to use colour as their most potent and flexible contemporary element of Interior Spatial Design.
Particular emphasis is given to underlying design approaches, philosophies, constraints, influences and areas of innovation.
