Course Objectives	This course aims to develop students' knowledge and skills in designing functional and visually appealing interior lighting solutions. It focuses on creating dynamic, user-centered lighting scenarios that emphasize both natural and, artificial light, thereby enhancing well-being, user experience, and energy efficiency.
Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; define both natural and various types of artificial lighting used in interior design and lighting fixtures based on design objectives and functionality according to different types of spaces. combine natural daylight with artificial lighting to optimize energy efficiency. develop dynamic lighting scenarios tailored to specific user needs and activities. evaluate sustainable lighting design practices, focusing on energy-efficient solutions that benefit both users and the environment. identify the significance of color in lighting design, understanding how it affects mood, perception, and overall environment.
Course Description	This course covers the fundamentals of lighting design in interior spaces, including ambient lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting. Additionally, the course will include hands-on projects focused on creating user-centered and sustainable lighting solutions, utilizing important technical terms such as the combined use of natural and artificial light, color and brightness management, CRI, and lighting levels.
