Course Objectives:	This course is an introduction to lighting design and research. It aims to provide the knowledge necessary for the students to carry out their graduate studies of lighting design. It is aimed that the students will search for their possible research subjects, determine their own preferences among them, conduct literature review and present and apply the most appropriate data collection and analysis methods to their chosen subject.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. Students are expected to increase and eloborate their knowledge on the psychological, physiological and social needs of the users;
2. Students are expected to increase their knowledge on the concept of Salutogenesis and its reflections in design and building of the spaces
3. Students are expected to make researches on the realtionship of Salutogenesis concept and Architecture; Interior Architecture and Industrial Design; by focusing on one of the disciplines mentioned.
4. Students are expected to determine a problem in the built environment related to the psychological, physiological and social needs of the users;
5. Students are expected to develop a conceptual project aiming to solve the specific problem that they have determined in the related disicipline which focuses on the psychological, physiological and social needs of the users;

Course Content

In the first five-week part of this course, the necessary information about light and lighting design is transferred to the students in order to develop a research proposal on a subject they are interested in. In the following weeks, the subjects related to writing the text of the research proposal that the students will submit at the end of the semester are emphasized.
