Light at Doors and Gates

Summer semester
Illuminating the Entrance.
The entrance of a building serves as its business card. At night, door areas with good illumination appear particularly inviting, convey security and orientation as well as reflect the design consciousness of the property owners. Glare-free lighting and appropriate illumination of the functional areas highlighting the architectural transition zones play a role which is just as important as the position and orientation of the outdoor lights or the luminous intensity and colour of the light sources.
This summer semester, twenty-one product design students have been analysing the different outdoor lighting situations at building entrances and driveways, at front doors and garden gates, as well as addressing the ecological questions of energy consumption and light pollution caused by excessive outdoor lighting.
Through night-time field studies, various design exercises and practical workshops, the project participants trained their light perception, acquired the basics of lighting technology and the design skills needed to present relevant lighting proposals for building entrances.
