Workshop at The LED Show/Strategies in Light
Tuesday, February 13, 2018, 8:00 am -12:00 pm
Long Beach Convention Center, Long Beach, CA
Intended for anyone in lighting, architecture, construction, operations, or maintenance who wants a better understanding of how lighting – natural and electric –drives architecture, this half day design charrette workshop focuses on designing three different buildings, each in different climate zones, whose first requirement is to provide optimal light. The charrette will simulate the early conceptual phase of an integrated design process, where many disciplines interact closely to set parameters and explore possibilities in form, massing, siting, systems, materials, energy, health and wellness, and connection to the local environment and ecosystem.
The presenters will provide detailed background material on the history of architecture and light; old and new technology for lighting and daylighting; IoT; advanced façade systems; energy efficiency and sustainability; and relevant recent case studies for light-driven buildings. A short but specific design brief is given that sets the hypothetical Owner’s Project Requirements and Basis of Design; locations; climate zone data; cultural environments; and construction budgets and schedules. Class participants divide into teams to develop design solutions, while speakers serve as advisors-at-large to the teams. Then each team, competing to “win” the project, presents to the speakers, who serve as hypothetical client owners representatives.
