Light, art and artifice

The research is focused on the resources, techniques, and strategies of artificial light in the architectural project, especially in the case of museums. Understanding museums as an extreme phenomenon, the aim is to show the change of paradigm that artificial lighting design has undergone over the last 30 years due to technological and artistic advances.

Through the study of artificial lighting techniques in museums, the aim is to approach the growing importance of these techniques in architectural projects. It also aims to recognise the importance of artificial lighting as a catalyst for the new experiences offered by these spaces. The aim is to make a historiographical contribution of an analytical nature to these projects through the trajectory of lighting by means of a discourse that can be added to and tangential to the spatial, formal and programmatic discourses that have already been defined previously. The final intention is to bring artificial lighting design closer to the project work.
