OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The purpose of this course is to provide understanding, support and the necessary tools to design and manufacture working lighting objects. By reviving the idea of “techné”, that is the concurrence of art and technique, it provides student with basic knowledge and enables them to develop their ideas through manual and instrumental activities. Particular attention is devoted to the possibility of processing synthetic materials, in particular metacrilate, optical fibres, LEDs as well as photovoltaic cells, into applications aimed at the project.
