he professional part time Master programme “Architectual Lighting and Design Ma-nagement” at Wismar University is a unique combination of the study fields “Architec-tural Lighting” and ”Design Management”. The curriculum is modular and focused on

integration into the individual’s professional life. The central capability of a lighting designer, regardless of dealing with daylight or artificial light, is to design the interactions between architecture and light. The aim of the ”Architectu-ral Lighting” modules is to encourage the students to investigate architectural, physical and psychological aspects of lighting by using creative and autonomous methods. This is to be done while keeping human well-being as well as the standards of sustainable architecture in mind. The focus of the ”Design Management“ modules is teaching the students how to set up working groups in the field of Architectural Lighting Design. They will understand office or-ganization and how to improve project performance as well as the strategic management ap-proach. By using market analysis tools students can develop marketing and business plans. The ”Design Management“ modules also incorporate the concept of design as part of the customer’s value chain. The participants are provided not only with technological and design expertise but also experience the customer oriented view of professional practice. Our graduates will under-stand how to successfully develop lighting design concepts incorporating design, ecology and advanced technology. They are able to adapt these concepts to the diverse global mar-kets and also understand the interrelation of design, project management in relation to the customer’s needs. By gaining insight into market forces and management tools they are able to develop competitive benefits for their design ideas as well as for their office organizations. Our lecturers are professors and lighting designers from various universities and research institutes as well as from well known lighting design offices. They are specialists in the field of ”Architectural Lighting“ and “Design Management“, which ensures a high academic quality of the programme. The degree acquired is an internationally accredited Master of Arts (M.A.) degree. The part time programme started in 2012 but it developed based on the experience collected in the full time programme in “Lighting Design“at the Wismar University, which has existed for more than 15 years. In 2013, one year after the initial start of the programme, it was awar-ded the PLD-R award (Professional Lighting Design Recognition) in the category of education. One year later, the programme was accredited by a German evaluation and accreditation agency (ZEvA).

he “blended learning” approach provides a unique opportunity not only to acquire the highest levels of knowledge and skills but also helps to build a strong network from the very beginning of the Master’s programme. The seminar weeks, workshops, excur-

sions and group projects are designed for you to be able to interact and work in close unison with other students, professors and professionals. The unique feature of this Master’s pro-gramme is to encourage social and professional network building between the students and at the same time to do so with the lecturers, professors and professionals from the lighting industry.We take pride in the fact that our students hail from various parts of the world and have diver-se educational backgrounds in fields such as architecture, interior design, theatre, fashion, electrical engineering and psychology to name a few. Such a varied platform of students provides a healthy environment for exchanging knowledge, skills and work-experiences, and at the same provides a wonderful opportunity to learn about new cultures, traditions, food and languages.Over the years, the most frequent comment from the class mates is how much they have en-joyed working together and forming friendships and life-long bonds. They often express how their interactions over the study programme helped them in developing their soft skills.Such networks and friendships offer both tangible and intangible benefits. Students learn to work in groups and teams, cooperate with each other and professionals but also gain valuable experiences and contacts for the future.

COURSE CONTENT DESCRIPTION OF MODULES

MODULE CONTENTS AND OBJECTIVESThe first semester starts with an introductory online session with the course leaders and coordinators. In this semester the students will be provided with initial assignments for each study module. These assignments can be considered as preparatory exer-cises that are designed to introduce the students to the various study modules and subjects. Each of the six initial assignments will be introduced by the professor in charge of the study module during an online session. The students are required to work on these assign-ments individually and present them during the first on-campus seminar week in Wismar. The aim of the-se assignments is to allow students to familiarise as well as engage in the various themes in lighting design. This also give the professors the opportu-nity to assess the skill and knowledge levels of the students, allowing for a more personal and tailored discussions during the seminar week.

Semester 1 & Semester 2

DESIGN CRITERIA

Topics:■ Design criteria in architectural lighting■ Perception of light■ Physics of daylight■ Lamp physics and features■ Light and colour■ Light and space■ Sustainability

Contents:Students are made familiar with the historical back-ground to and the present influences on architec-tural lighting design. Criteria for the design of a lighting adjacent concept are developed and distin-guished from fields such as event lighting.The laws of visual perception are explained and their significance for architectural lighting demonstrated. Appropriate lighting units and dimensions are deri-ved. Relationships between light and colour percep-tion as well as light and the perception of space are studied.The physical characteristics of daylight and artificial light are compared and their significance for the de-sign process discussed.The features of various lamps, especially LEDs, are demonstrated. (A reader is at hand)

Objectives:Students will be able to characterize the prominent design features of architectural lighting. They will be enabled to evaluate a lighting design scheme with regard to given lighting criteria and understand the difference between the perception and the physical description of a lighting scheme, they are able to characterize the main features of a lighting layout.At the end of the course, they will be able to evalu-ate the interaction of both light and colour as well as light and space.

DAYLIGHTING

Topics:■ Physics of standard overcast and clear sky■ Sunpath diagrammes■ Interior lighting from overcast sky■ Daylight factor■ Interior lighting from clear sky■ Design of shading and sun controlsContents:The daylight module aims to further deepen the students‘ existing understanding of the qualities of daylight. Different theoretical sky models, sun posi-tion calculations and the resulting practical conse-quences are studied in great detail, through practi-cal exercises and assignments.The components that have an influence on the entry of daylight into buildings, for example the size and placement of windows, the glazing area, framing ra-tios and dirt and pollution factors are presented and their impact on the architectural design is discussed in detail. In the process, the students will also study the positive aspects of natural daylight and the harmful effects of excessive daylight. Energy saving potential and positive effects on health will be contrasted with problems such as ad-verse effects on thermal comfort, damage to mate-rials due to radiation and negative effects on visual comfort due to glare.Objectives:Students should have acess to the criteria which will assist them in the optimization of an architectural design.Furthermore the students should understand and learn how to design different shading systems in relation to the position of the sun and according to the different days and seasons the year and the pos-sibilities of integrating the solutions into the overall architectural design.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING

Topics:■ Types of luminaires■ Design strategies Indoor and outdoor■ Lighting concepts■ Luminaire layout■ Lighting calculation and measurement■ Simulation and renderingContents:Optical systems for controlling daylight and lumi-nous flux in lighting are studied and illustrated with examples for daylight controls and luminaires. Stu-dents learn the design of optical systems for differ-ent lamp types, to achieve a specific light distribu-tion including in general lighting, washlighting and accent lighting. Design principles for orientation lighting and media lighting are learned. Recommen-dations for the layout of luminaires are developed in order to optimize the lighting performance in a given space. Methods for estimates of mean illuminations as well as point by point calculations are developed and applied. Lighting measurements are demon-strated. The difference between simulation and ex-ecution will be explained and the benefits of both aspects shown. (A reader is at hand)Objectives:For a given lighting design, the students will acquire the ability to describe the required light distribution for luminaires and to specify the adequate optical system. Furthermore they will be able to develop ad-equate lighting concepts for a specific types of use, in spaces such as;■ Foyers■ Offices■ Conference rooms■ Cafes and bistros■ Museums■ Sales areas etc.

Students will be able to optimize a lighting layout and to scale the installation for required illumina-tion and luminance levels. The students will be able to validate their designs by taking the appropriate measurements.

DESIGN PROJECT I : CONCEPTUAL LIGHTING DESIGN

Contents:A specific environment of an existing architectural structure or a virtual structure is given. For this en-vironment either a complete renovation of the light-ing system has to be developed or – as with virtual architecture – a new lighting concept has to be de-signed. For both situations the conceptual design will com-prise:■ Artificial lighting of the interior or part of the

interior■ Artificial lighting of the exterior or part of the

exterior, such as façade lighting etc.■ Daylighting of the interior or part of the interi-

or, including the conceptual design of daylight controls.

Conceptual design of artificial lighting comprises the selection of lamp types and corresponding lumi-naires together with details of the type of mounting. It covers the luminaire layout as well as the estimate of the electric power to be installed.The final presentation shows the lighting strategies by means of section drawings and perspective views with corresponding light distributions.

DESIGN METHODS I: BASICS

Contents:The completion of the module “Design Methods“ will help students to develop various strategies to conceptualize a design process. Similar working

principles to those used in other design processes are applied, but since light essentially interprets existing features in the space, other priorities have to be set. In the first semester three different ap-proaches will be investigated. These will later serve as the basis for a student to develop an independ-ent design process.Different exercises like a 1:1 and 1:50 mock-up will help the students to apply an analytical and typo-logical approach for designing spaces. Besides hav-ing a hands-on opportunity to work with light, there is also the possibility to develop the lighting design “vocabulary” through analytical documentation.

LIGHTING APPLICATIONS AND SUSTAINABILITY

Topics:■ Analysis and abstraction of lighting problems■ Schematic solution design for combining daylight ■ and artificial light■ Criteria for sustainable buildings■ Criteria for sustainable lightingContents:Typologies of lighting requirements with respect to technical, perception and cultural considerations will be developed through analysis and design. An understanding for the relationship between light-ing design and building climate will be acquired. In particular, consideration for the energy usage of a sustainable lighting design and the integration with the concept for energy usage in the building will be taught. Objectives:Students learn how the relationship between us-age typologies and criteria for lighting influence the sustainability of the application of a specific light-ing design. They understand the impact of lighting on climate and design buildings according to sus-tainable criteria. They learn how to calculate and to demonstrate the relevant criteria to reach a certain

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT

TopicsThe focus is on developing strategic approaches to ensure the market success of lighting design pro-jects and the economic success of a lighting design office.ContentsBased on scientific methodologies, a strategic con-cept for an architectural lighting office is developed and presented in the form of a business plan. The following stages will be demonstrated;

■ Analysis of customer Needs ■ Management philosophy ■ Strategy development ■ Implementation concepts ■ Business plan

ObjectivesStudents will be able to analyze markets and cus-tomer‘s needs. They will get master the tools to au-tonomously and independently develop strategic concepts for an architectural lighting design office. The course will give the students the benefit of un-derstanding the broader strategic and economic background to starting or running an architectural lighting design department or office.

DESIGN PROJECT II: DETAILED LIGHTING DESIGN

Topics ■ Usage-aligned design ■ All steps of the design process ■ Critical discussion of the results ■ Presentation skills

ContentsStudents will learn about the design possibilities light presents, by working on a specific planning task that incorporates their own creative goals. The starting point for the development of the design is typological classification. The design will be evalu-ated for technical feasibility using theoretical, math-ematical and experimental methods. ObjectivesThe goal is to identify and apply the discrete steps needed in the process of lighting design. By working out a project from the beginning, until the final ten-ders for the realization of the lighting project, the students can further refine their own design meth-odologies.

DESIGN METHODS II: VISUALISATION AND CALCULATION

Topics ■ Lighting typology ■ Methods for calculation and visualisation

ContentsThe design task is classified typologically and the associated design parameters are developed. The skill of presentation with visuali sation programmes and calculations for various lighting parameters are demonstrated with specific examples. Objectives

■ Understand the fundamentals of an independent ■ approach to design work ■ Evaluate lighting designs using mathematical ■ concepts ■ Demonstrate design results visually

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Topics ■ Process and project management in national and ■ international contexts

ContentsThe following relevant skills for successful national and international project management will be devel-oped and applied;

■ International project management ■ Intercultural communication ■ Project implementation ■ Project coordination ■ Flow chart analysis

ObjectivesStudents will learn the soft and hard skills associ-ated with successful national and international pro-ject management. A specific benefit of this module is its focus on intercultural knowledge, as proficien-cy in this field often determines failure or success in international projects. In addition students will get firsthand information about cultural influences in decision making processes, by interacting with our multinational participants.

DESIGN PROJECT III: SELECTED LIGHTING DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Topic ■ Architectural design project

ContentsThis design project will enable students to use light in support of the architectural character and socio-cultural backdrop of a building. The nature of light will be explained in detail, and the skill to methodically manipulate its use in design will be reinforced. The ability to implement specific design goals will be trained by using a creative analogy as a starting point. The feasibility of the design is to be evaluated using theoretical, mathematical or exper-imental methods. ObjectivesThe goal is the attainment of key skills needed for the mastery of the design process in lighting design. A strong command of design methods, design tech-niques and presentation skills is to be achieved.

Semester 4

DESIGN PROJECT II: DETAILED LIGHTING DESIGN

DESIGN AND ECONOMICS

TopicsThis module will cover selected economic success factors such as the contribution of the human factor in a successful design, the value added chain in real estate management, and financial statements as part of the business plan.ContentsStudents will learn to apply the relevant scientific and business analysis tools to improve the effec-tiveness of an architectural lighting design office:

■ Effective teamwork ■ Organizational behavior ■ HRM ■ Design management from industrial crafts to Design futures with a global perspective

■ Financial statementsThe contents will be practiced in a case study, cover-ing stake holder analysis and the types of financial statements based on the business plan concept of the strategic management module.ObjectivesStudents will in practice independently apply knowl-edge concerning strategic team composition, prod-uct design management and financial management. They will understand the potential of design as part of the value added chain in real estate. One special benefit of this module is the focus on the human fac-tor in successful design development. The different values, expectations and needs of the stakeholders will be analyzed.
