DESIGNING
CREATIVELY WITH DAYLIGHT |
|
Description |
This
is an interactive live online course, via Zoom, that gives you a practical
and aesthetic foundation to the key Principles and Rules of Thumb for
designing with natural light. All successful designs have mastered the play
of natural lighting across surfaces and through volumes.
The
course covers material not taught at university or Technikon! Expect the unexpected!
“This course has been massively informative. The
ability to stretch our thoughts into seeing the way we do what I always
thought to be ordinary things in a unique way, has been very inspiring. Fresh
insight into light (and dark).” Jerome Starkey |
