OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The purpose of this course is to understand that light is, first and foremost, a language and as such must be approached and treated. At a semantic level we also find an interest into the subject as “science of illumination”, that is the technical/scientific knowledge that deals with space illumination by using natural and artificial sources. The covered topics will be theory of light (intensity, spectrum, reflection etc.), physiology and psychology of vision, human eye perception, visual comfort.
