The second summer school was organized and attended by representatives of international leading universities and European architectural schools in the field of lighting design. These are Aalborg University (Denmark), Hochschule Wismar (Germany) and KTH Royal Institute (Sweden), Thomas Jefferson University (USA), Creative Lighting Department ITMO University (Russia), and the University of Wolverhampton (UK).
The main subject of online school in 2020 was “Lighting for Working and Educational Environments”.
The work was conducted in interdisciplinary international groups (39 participants in total), which included students from each partner university. Within its framework, participants comprehensively evaluated the lighting of four spaces on their respective campuses. This involved the analysis of natural and artificial light, and study of the effect of lighting on the daily rhythms of the users. In the course of practical work, students identified and recorded in detail, all the characteristics of these rooms, so that the rest of the team who worked remotely, could accurately understand these spaces.
The classes lasted five weeks and were divided into five modules. Each week was devoted to a specific topic that included a theoretical part (based on prerecorded lectures) and practical tasks, and concluded with a final presentation.
