COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Architectural Lighting Design is both science and art. An Architectural Lighting Designer understands the
intricate details and process of construction, as well as an understanding of light, vision, and how together
they define our built environment. Light allows us to see. Light defines what see. With an understanding
of how light works, Architects and Interior Designers can extend their knowledge beyond forms and
surfaces – they can enter a world of brilliance, glow, shadow, sparkle, and darkness.
The course meets twice a week for one‐and‐a‐half hours. Students are expected to read a wide array of
primary and background texts and to prepare the research presentation. They will also work on the term
project at the end of the semester. This course will consist of a structured lectures and discussions
covering various lighting technologies, lighting applications, and current practice standards on natural and
electric lighting design. Assignments on self-exploration and discovery of light will challenge your artistic
side.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. A basic understanding of light is explored with a “hands-on” approach in the first assignment, a 3-
Dimensional study of how light effect your perception. The exercise consists of fabricating small non-
architectural abstract t light concepts with light. The student’s individual discovery of new materials and
light effects is encouraged.
2. The final assignments will explore a 3-dimensional interior space – the later a typical architectural
lighting design project with client needs, space program and functions, and technical requirements.
3. A self-exploration to fully understand the 3-dimensional space from 2-dimensional information is
required.
4. Students will be able to develop lighting concepts, research fixture products, and to perform simple
lighting calculations.
5. Students will be able to read light fixture catalog sheets, produce reflected ceiling plans, and write
fixture specification.

WORKLOAD GUIDELINES
As a minimum, students are expected to spend about two hours of outside preparation for every hour in
class. For this class it means a minimum of six hours outside of class per week; if writing assignments are
due, students should expect to spend more time to complete their work. Required readings are outside
preparation for this course and should be completed before class for the day they are assigned.
Students are responsible for all the material in the required readings, whether or not the material has
been discussed in class.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Class attendance is required. Students are also required to attend all discussion sessions. Your success
in this class will depend, to a large degree, upon your attendance and active engagement. In‐class
material will be reinforced in the required and recommended readings, and some in‐class material may
not be covered in the readings. Students are responsible for all lecture material whether or not it is
included in the assigned readings. Class attendance is required and will be monitored. Sometimes an
illness, emergency, or other circumstances may cause you to miss class. You are allowed THREE absences
for the semester. Missing extensive days results in a significant impact on your work, and to your
participation in the class. EACH ABSENCE, FOR ANY REASON (except in rare extenuating circumstances)
BEYOND THREE, WILL RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF YOUR FINAL EARNED GRADE.
Therefore, 10 points of your total score will be deducted from your final grade for each absence after
three absences. (For example, 4 absences = 10 points deducted from your total points. Five absences =
20 points deducted from your total points, etc.) If you miss class, try to borrow a classmate's notes. The
instructor will not assume responsibility for providing class notes to you.

All exams must be taken on the dates scheduled. Students will only be permitted to take make‐up exams
in the case of medical or family emergencies, or if they are away on official university business. Late
presentations will not be accepted. Please take advantage of my office hours to discuss the course or just
to talk. If you cannot make my regular office hours, I am willing to meet you by appointment. AUK
HONOR CODE AND ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
The core values of The American University of Kurdistan (AUK) are learning, discovery, freedom,
leadership, individual opportunity, and responsibility. Each member of the University is expected to
uphold these values through integrity, honesty, trust, fairness, and respect toward peers and
community.
Plagiarism is the most common form of academic dishonesty. Plagiarism can be a difficult concept to
define; however, simply put, plagiarism is using other people’s ideas and words without clearly
acknowledging the source of that information. It is important to note that at the university we are
continually exposed to other’s ideas. We read ideas and words in textbooks, hear them in lectures,
discuss them in class, and incorporate them into our own writing. One must always keep in mind that
you must give credit when credit is due. In order to avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever
you use:
∙ Another person’s idea, opinion, or theory;
∙ Any facts, statistics, graphics, visual images (i.e.: drawings, videos, etc.) that are not
common knowledge;
∙ Quotations of another person’s spoken or written words; or
∙ Paraphrase of another person’s spoken or written words.

AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF KURDISTAN (AUK)
COLLEGE OF ART & SCIENCES
DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR DESIGN
IND314 – LIGHTING FOR INTERIOR DESIGN SPRING 2019
Instructor: Asst. Prof. Siniša Prvanov
RESEARCH
The following are the research subjects to be presented in the studio prepared individually.
Research work will be prepared in two formats:
1. Power Point Presentation to be presented to the class individually.
2. A3 boards including a brief summary of your research presented in a more visual form
(graphics, sketches, diagrams…) to be hanged on classroom walls, since you are assumed
to get benefit from these works throughout your project development.
3. Oral Presentation of each student will be limited to 15-20 min.
RESEARCH TOPICS
1. DAYLIGHTING
Daylighting is the practice of placing windows, skylights, other openings, and reflective surfaces so
that sunlight (direct or indirect) can provide effective internal lighting. Particular attention is given to
daylighting while designing a building when the aim is to maximize visual comfort or to reduce
energy use.
The task of this research is to analyze the distribution of natural light in interiors and its
manipulation. After brief introduction to natural light students will present different types of features
used in all kind of objects from residential to large public buildings. Presented material will be
supplied with interior photos, section drawings, diagrams, and details.
2. COLOR TEMPERATURE AND INTERIOR LIGHING
Color temperature and environment are one of the main aspects in lighting design. However, it is
one of the most scientific and accurate ways of defining colors. Each color and its subsequent
temperature impart a very different look to home interior or office and can make a great deal of
difference in illuminating different aspects of a given space.
The aim of this research is the analysis of the relationship between colors and lighting in interiors.
Students will show how the colours of an interior surface can absorb or reflect light and distribution
of light from the source. What is the effect on luminarie’s distribution and efficiency on the space.
To analyse the relationship between the surface and colour reflectance. Different reflectance
combination of the space surface by verifying against the optimal visual comfort requirements. To
identify the colours schemes those can prove the better lighting. Lighting design with colour filters

and materials and surface techniques. Research will be supported by variety of interior photos and
samples.
3. LED LIGHTING, TECHNOLOGIES AND CONTROLS
A LED lamp or LED light bulb is an electric light for use in light fixtures that produces light using
light-emitting diode (LED). LED lamps have a lifespan up to 25 times longer than incandescent
lamps, and are significantly more efficient than most fluorescent lamps. Similar to incandescent
lamps and unlike most fluorescent lamps (e.g. tubes and compact fluorescent lamps or CFLs),
LEDs come to full brightness without need for a warm-up time. An LED lamp packaging may show
the lumen output, power consumption in watts, color temperature in kelvins or description (e.g.
"warm white", "cool white" or "daylight"), operating temperature range, and sometimes the
equivalent wattage of an incandescent lamp of similar luminous output.
The task of this research is the analysis of the LED lighting technology and production. Students
will present different types of products and their usage in residential, retail and commercial interior
design. Presentation will be supported by variety of interior samples, technical drawings, and
specifications about voltage and power. Research will also include the description of leading
companies in LED technology and their strategy.
4. COVE LIGHTING
Cove lighting is a form of indirect lighting built into ledges, recesses, or valences in a ceiling or high
on the walls of a room. It directs light up towards the ceiling and down adjacent walls. It may be
used as primary lighting, or for aesthetic accent, especially to highlight decorative ceilings. Cove
lighting is valued because it hides the fixtures, and because it provides a very even light.
The task of this research is a profound analysis of the cove lighting in interiors from residential
objects, office buildings, to large public spaces as libraries and museums. Students have to show
installing methods, different materials, ergonomic dimensions and appropriate lighting fixture used
such as fluorescent tubes, LED strips, etc.
5. RECESED LIGHTING FIXTURE
A recessed light or downlight is a light fixture that is installed into a hollow opening in a ceiling.
When installed it appears to have light shining from a hole in the ceiling, concentrating the light in a
downward direction as a broad floodlight or narrow spotlight.
The task of this research is a analysis of all recesed lighting fixture types and their usage in all kind
of interior spaces such as retail, commercial and public. Students have to show and describe all
parts of lighting fixture in detail. Also different types and technology used such as halogen, LED,
etc. Students will present different samples of interiors and technical detail drawings.
6. SUSPENDED LIGHTING FIXTURE
A suspended or pendant light, sometimes called a drop, is a lone light fixture that hangs from the
ceiling usually suspended by a cord, chain, or metal rod. Pendant lights are often used in multiples,
hung in a straight line over kitchen countertops and dinette sets or sometimes in bathrooms. Also
like hanged linear structures in office spaces.
Students will present and describe variety of product, their usage and function. Presented material
must be supplied by samples of different interiors and technical drawings with indicated

dimensions and ergonomic standards.
7. LUMINOUS SURFACE
A luminous surface is lighting fixture which gives ‘off light’. In other words, it glows (or shines) of its
own accord. To be able to glow, the luminous surface usualy have its own source of energy.
The task of this research is a analysis of different luminous types and their usage in horizontal
lifgting for floors and vertical lighting for walls. Students will present different materiales used for
manufacturing supplied with variety of interior samples.
8. TRACK LIGHTING
Track lighting is a method of lighting where light fixtures are attached anywhere on a continuous
track device which contains electrical conductors. This is in contrast to directly routing electrical
wiring to individual light positions. Tracks can either be mounted to ceilings or walls, lengthwise
down beams, or crosswise across rafters or joists. They can also be hung with rods from especially
high places like vaulted ceilings.
Students will research and present mounthing methods, lamps and their voltage, the way of hiding
transformers, systems of dimming, different variations and their usage mainly in museums,
exhibition spaces or in stage design. Presented material will be supplied by variety of interior
samples and technical drawings.
9. WALL WASHERS
Wall washing and grazing are two techniques for controlling how these surfaces, and the spaces
they enclose, are perceived. Wall washing and wall grazing fixtures are designed to direct light at a
wall when mounted on the ceiling, recessed into the ceiling, or as uplighting mounted to the floor,
rather than mounted to the wall itself. Wall washing is a technique typically used to light flat walls.
Students will research and present the main characteristics of wall washing and grazing techniques
in interior and exterior design. Location of fixture, fixture types, voltage and efficiance. Research
have to be supplied by variety of interior samples and technical drawings such as elevations and
sections with indicated distances and dimensions.
In general:
• Do not limit your research to internet only,
• Try to have a coherent outline composed of introduction, development and conclusion. At
the conclusion, add your own synthesis, ideas and opinions.
• Do not include everything you find, but be selective while choosing the essential points for
your presentation.
• Refer to “academic research” standards! (Footnotes, references etc.)
Research presentations will be on Wednesday January 29th
(section 001), and on Monday
February 3rd (section 002) at 13:30 in the classroom. The weight of this assignment is 20% of your
final grade. * Submission requirements will be announced later.

TERM PROJECT
DESIGN CRITERIA
Students will design Lighting Plan based on a given layout, Cultural Centre (Studio IV Project), or Primary-
Secondary School (Graduation Project). Functional area is about 650 m2. Design must satisfy requirements
such as basic functions as well as corporate or cultural identity.
Light plays a decisive role in such situations, in both a functional and emotional sense. Students will design
lighting proposal supported by all necessary documentation achieving a pleasant atmosphere where
employees and visitors feel at ease, with precisely the right surroundings for productive work is the task of
public and management buildings, aiming to supply an ideal environment for users as globally networked
knowledge carriers.
Stage 1: Concept Design
According to their furnishing plan students will start the concept design process. This will include sketches
of proposed layouts, exploring the best ways to light their project. It will also incorporate preliminary
placement plans and samples of possible light fixtures.
In order to ensure proper lighting in a given space, students will work in two types of lighting: in the first
instance, an overall system that supplies consistent and evenly distributed luminosity; secondly, individual
points of light attributed to each functional zone. In the case of public space lighting, both broad-based and
focal lighting are recommended. On the one hand, an all-encompassing lighting system prevents a glare
effect; on the other hand, localized lighting will illuminate a particular area more exactly. To achieve this,
the optimal combination would bring together various types of lighting systems such as ceiling luminaires,
wall-mounted fixtures, and track lights, floor lamps, traditional recessed fixtures or downlights as well as
desk lamps.
It is important to illuminate each work zone in a strategic manner rather than illuminate the overall office
space with an all-encompassing lighting system. Each work zone needs to be assessed to meet the
lighting needs of workers based on the attributes of each space.
For example reception area is the first contact space with clients and visitors; it is critical that lighting in this
zone be both inviting and appropriate. A combination of natural lighting, whenever possible and lamps can
help create a warm effect and still ensure adequate lighting at all times.
Open-plan offices require a more flexible approach to lighting: there should be no glare effect and lighting
systems of at least 500 lux should be pleasing to the eye. Photo-sensors and motion sensors can also be
installed to adjust lighting to foot traffic as well as to existing natural light in the space.
Conference Rooms and Closed Office Space needs to have a combination of 500-lux all-inclusive as well
as individual lighting systems that will serve to enhance employees’ well-being. To achieve this, students

may consider installing hanging fixtures and wall packs.
Hallways, as people do not work in these spaces, lighting proposal can include economical lighting
solutions every time respecting all rules and guidelines that regulate safe lighting. In this way, your people
will be able to come and go easily and safely at all times.
Stage 2: Design Development
Once the basic concept is completed, the second stage of the project begins. Students will then start work
on developing the design, working in co-ordination with instructor who is also involved in their projects. The
development stage focuses on the practical aspects of the lighting scheme. During this, students will
create 3D renders to show the lighting levels, and how the fittings will integrate with your space. These
visualizations are designed to help you envisage how effective the scheme will be. Students will produce a
draft layout, indicating where the fixtures and controls will be located, and an estimated product costing.
Students will then have the opportunity to discuss the designs as before, making any necessary changes
before the plans for the scheme are finalized.
Stage 3: Design Specification
This is the last stage of the design process, where the details of lighting scheme are finalized.
At this point, students will produce a detailed specification for the project. This will include marked up
Reflected Ceiling Plans (RCP) which show the exact locations of fixtures, controls and switches, and
technical information such as circuit diagrams and driver details. The specification will also incorporate
detailed pricing for the fixtures and fittings that will be used. Depending on the fittings have been chosen,
students can supply them or, alternatively, they can design their own lighting fixtures. In that case technical
and detailed drawings in proper scale must be included.

Conclusion
During the spring semester 2019 students demonstrated independent achievement of all planed outcomes.
The course, Lighting for Interior Design, has allowed students to have new insights and creativity into the
learning and teaching process and also enables students to try out in a much more flexible, dynamic way
other learning experiences. The task involved the lighting design of particular public space, Cultural Centre,
with the purpose of attracting the visitors, giving attention, enhancing the beauty and attributes of the
interior and façade of the building considered relevant or of public interest.
The course was a self-study course where relevant literature was discussed. The course was concluded with
an evaluation of place, interior design architecture. Students achieved advanced understanding of light
explored with a “hands-on” approach in the first assignment, a 3-Dimensional study of how light effect
their perception. The exercise was consists of fabrication of small non-architectural abstract light concepts
with light-table lamp. The student’s discovered new materials and how to encourage light effects. Students
also learned how to calculate and apply illumination level for each space. The method was improved and
shown in the final project producing reflected ceiling plan (RCP) and lighting schedule with clearly indicated
types of lighting fixtures and their specification. For the needs of students, the technical books of the two
companies were used: I Guzzini and Philips.

At the last stage of this course software ‘DIALux evo 8.1.’ was used for digital calculations of the amount of
illumination and the selection of light sources:

In general, students have shown satisfactory results in independent design thinking, especially in the field
of usage of low voltage sources, LED lighting sources and controlling light devices.
