The Interior Lighting Workshop has been specially conceived for architects and lighting designers to give them the opportunity to acquaint themselves with lighting design and experiment with light.  
Lighting design is understanding how light affects our emotions and feeling of well-being. It is also about how light responds to different materials and colours, and what effect it has depending on its source and angle of radiation. 

The Practical Interior Lighting Workshops comprise three-hour sessions where the participants are first taught an overview of lighting design fundamentals: the inter-relationship of light and space; the basic lighting design techniques; the words used to describe lighting effects.
After a presentation of the available equipment, participants will be asked to consider different questions: how light can influence our perception of scale and distance, or what factors influence the selection and placement of light sources, or what is the role of darkness (shadow) in establishing spatial hierarchy?

The main part of the workshop is the hands-on experimentation phase, where the participants have the opportunity to test their ideas with real equipment under the guidance of the workshop head.
The workshop will take place inside of the exhibition in an 8m x 6m x 3m closed space. The space will be darkened, allowing for the workshop participants to determine the lighting conditions. Interior finishes include white and black surfaces, as well as wood and metal with matt or shiny surfaces. There will also be objects of different shapes and sizes in the space. Available light sources: fluorescent, halogen, LEDs
