ARCH 525: Architectural Design: Lighting (Revision 4) Report a Broken Link

ARCH 525: Architectural Design: Lighting introduces the art and science of light and lighting. It discusses the interaction of light, lighting application technologies, and their physiological and psychological impact on people. It focuses on visual characteristics, inter-relationships with adjacent systems, performance, and cost efficiency.
