DESIGNING CREATIVELY WITH NIGHT-LIGHT
Coming soon…
WHEN YOU’RE IN THE LIGHT ABOUT DARKNESS YOU DISCOVER THE POTENTIAL OF BOTH
An insightful live-online course for the architectural profession on how the interplay of light and darkness can radically transform your designs
We spend 90% of our time indoors, and mostly with insufficient natural lighting. Offices, restaurants, classrooms and lecture theatres are often artificially lit. This shortfall of natural light impacts our moods, productivity and physiological health.
Lighting is a science and an art. Rooms lit from two sides are significantly more populated than those lit from a single source. Why? And what’s the best way of
achieving this in a building? There are physiological and psychological reasons for this. There’s so much more to know about lighting than meets the eye.
With a deeper understanding of lighting and a series of straightforward design steps this course will literally light up your designs.
This course will be SACAP accredited and RIBA CPD recognised.
Bookings will be open in 2023.

Projective geometry and proportions
Coming in 2024!
WHEN YOU’RE DESIGNING WITH STRAIGHTS AND CURVES YOU STILL NEED TO UNDERPIN YOUR WORK WITH GEOMETRY
Dynamic forms require dynamic geometry. When you’re not designing with rectangles, circles or triangles, it’s still possible to be geometric. Nature is replete with these kinds of shapes, irregular yet geometrically true.
It’s not a question of designing according to a fixed geometry but recognizing the implicit geometry in the emerging forms, and fine-tuning the design to be concordant with a dynamic geometry. It’s this inner harmony that lends nature and art its refined beauty. These organic forms, as with nature, are not arbitrary but geometrically disciplined.
Stepping out of the box does not mean stepping out of geometry… it means moving from Euclidean geometry to Projective geometry.
