About the project
In the winter semester 2023/2024, as part of the "Building Materials Technology Special Areas" seminar, students were presented with the exciting challenge of developing various luminaire designs that were not only aesthetically pleasing, but also diverse in style, form and function. In carrying out this task, it was crucial to incorporate architectural materials such as concrete, wood, glass and metal into the designs. The aim was to create a harmonious combination of these materials that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The students used CAD software to turn their creative ideas into reality. This enabled them to work out their designs in detail and create precise 3D models. The technology offered the students a unique opportunity to visualize their visions while taking into account the technical aspects of their designs.
Another important aspect was the functionality of the designed luminaires. All designs had to have adjustable or movable elements that allowed users to adjust the light direction, intensity or distribution as required. This adaptability ensured that the luminaires were not only visually appealing but also practical for the user.
Overall, the project provided an exciting opportunity for students to demonstrate their creative skills while exploring important aspects of design and functionality.
