Social Benefits of Innovative Lighting (Package)

Course trailer

Description

This series of videos covers the history of LED development, a brief overview of LED fabrication in the laboratory, and current developments in the field of low energy lighting. In the second part of the series, two architects from a Glasgow firm exhibit major community lighting projects in and around Glasgow - the history, how the communities were engaged in the design process, and the social impact the lighting has had.

More information on the speakers is available in our architecture blog.
