Purpose
As part of the TAVA24 light festival, the Botanical Garden of the University of Tartu will host an architectural lighting workshop. The aim of the workshop is to provide students, lighting design enthusiasts and professional lighting designers with "hands-on" work experience under the guidance of internationally acclaimed IALD lighting designers, from the development of the concept to the finished construction of installations, and to provide training on the main topics of lighting design.
The workshop offers an interesting challenge for designers and planners, but is also useful for the city government, offering the opportunity to see and experience different lighting solutions on a 1:1 scale before making more in-depth investments.
