100 word description

The MFA program was the first in the field of architectural lighting, and is the only programme focused primarily on design and social practice. An interdisciplinary education is offered in the intellectual, aesthetic, and technical aspects of lighting. At the core of the curriculum is the Lighting Design Studio, where students envision form and space "in light." A technology series complements the studio sequence, as well as courses in the cultural, historical, and perceptual components of lighting. A new dual-degree graduate program combines the MFA in Lighting Design and the Master of Architecture. The department's journal, Scapes, focuses on global, metropolitan, and departmental perspectives on architecture and related disciplines.
