SEMINAR 1 - The Building Blocks of Light
Dominic will discuss:
- BASICS - colour rendering, appearance and temperature - and WHY they matter
- LAMPS - the 4 FAMILIES - respect!
- JUST `COS WE CAN - the latest technology
- IS LESS MORE? Application Guidelines
SEMINAR 2 - Lighting for the Electronic Age
Dominic will discuss how lighting can and should reach new frontiers given the available IT technology and web access, and explore the possibilities of:
- LIGHTING - the tip of the electronic iceberg?
- Lighting as a finish, not a service
- FUTURE INTERACTION - electronic hardware / human software
- LEDs - the bridge between environmental perception and the electronic age
Actually, the sky`s not the limit!
SEMINAR 3 - Lighting for Retail Therapy
Dominic will discuss how lighting can transform interiors and attract and engage people. Depending on how a space is lit, this engagement can be subtle or dynamic, passive or interactive, conscious or subconcious. It`s about understanding:
- Horses for Courses - define the TASK
- Fun or Run? The TIME factor
- Now See Here - or There, or Everywhere?
- Space Control. Come HERE, go THERE!
- Human RESPONSE to the Lit Environment
All these factors will play their part in creating a `designer` solution.
SEMINAR 4 - After Dark - Light and the Nightscape
Dominic will discuss how good lighting after dark can enhance or transform the night scene with lifestyle-changing results:
- NIGHTSCAPE by design - a black canvas?
- SAFE AS HOUSES? Building security with light
- PEOPLE-friendly spaces. The PSYCHE re-lit!
- INSIDE out, or OUTSIDE in? Holistic solutions
SEMINAR 5 - Light & the Feel-Well Factor
Dominic will discuss how lighting is a critical issue for health and well being, for patients and clinicians alike. The seminar explores:
- A HUMAN RESPONSE - Light and Physiology
- The TASK OF LIGHT - Health and Care
- LIGHT PATTERN as INFORMATION GIVER
- DELIVERING LIGHT - VISUAL STIMULATION not NUMBERS
