Lighting Design for Architecture Bachelor of Arts degree |
Faculty:
School of Design, Management and Technical Arts
Duration:
3 years
Starts:
September
Programme Overview: Design for architecture and the built environment is increasingly engaged not only with physical structures but also the experience of inhabitants and users of buildings and spaces. There has been a fundamental shift in the way public buildings are perceived and used by their audiences: notions of ambience and spectatorship are applied to architecture in new and surprising ways, while digital and new material technologies are used to make buildings that are highly dynamic. ‘Performance’ now provides a vital and productive way to think about, make, and light architecture. Run in partnership with the Lighting Education Trust (LET) this new programme offers a unique pathway into studying lighting for architecture and environment at undergraduate level.
The programme sits alongside our established BA (Hons) Lighting Design programme, sharing some of its teaching and core practices whilst offering students specialist training, industry placements and project work within the built environment sector.
Contact:
Hansjörg Schmidt
Academic Programme Manager

Curriculum:
Light and Performance: An interdisciplinary, project-based module exploring collaborative working practices.
Technology and Processes: A taught module delivered jointly with the LET and industry, covering topics such as: luminaire design and light sources; interior and exterior lighting; designing with daylight; lighting controls, energy reduction and sustainability; computer modelling, measurements and calculations; regulations and codes of practice; light and vision.
Industry Study: A placement at an architectural practice or period abroad studying architectural lighting design at a European partner institution.
Independent Design Project: an architectural design project bringing together your learning from the first two years of the programme.
Professional Study and Practice: a 4-6 month industry placement, giving you ‘real world’ experience and preparing you for employment.

Program overview:
The lighting program at the University of Kansas (KU) is located in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering (CEAE) in the School of Engineering. Today, the KU lighting program offers multiple lighting courses in electric lighting, daylighting, lighting design and lighting measurement in up to 27 credit hours. We currently offer B.S. and M.S. degrees in Architectural Engineering with a concentration in lighting. We also offer Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering with a concentration in building mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems, which includes lighting research. The KU Lighting Research Laboratory houses all necessary major lighting equipment and facilities in a 715 square-foot Henderson Engineers Illumination Laboratory and a 550 square-foot windowless Dark Room.
The lighting program at KU has a long history, can be traced back to 1980 when Dr. Ronald N. Helms, P.E., FIES started the lighting program at KU. In 1985, the Bob Foley Illumination Lab was opened in 232 Art & Design building at KU. Since then, Dr. Thomas Glavinich (1992 - 2014), Professor Lou Michel (1980s – 1990s), Dr. M. Clay Belcher (1990s - 2001), Dr. Martin Moeck (1993 - 2001), Dr. Hongyi Cai (2010 - present) have been full-time faculty members at KU’s lighting program. There were some other part-time instructors teaching lighting courses at KU as well, including Dr. Ed McBride (2003-2007), Mr. Bruce Yarnell from Yarnell & Associates who taught the capstone engineering design course for several times, Mr. Derek Porter from Derek Porter Studios and now Parsons School of Design who also taught Illumination Engineering and other unique lighting design courses.

Program Overview: Architectural Engineering (AE) is the engineering design of buildings. The BS/MAE combine to make a five year engineering accredited program. Students have the option to specialize in either the design of building structural systems, building mechanical and acoustical systems, or building lighting and electrical systems. The first three years are common to all three and include the same math and science courses common to all engineering programs. The intent of the AE program is to develop both breadth and depth. This is done by requiring the students to have a good understanding of all the systems that make up a building while also giving them a specialized education in their chosen option areas.
