Immersion in light from the first course

23 november 2023
Training program at the Russian State University of Arts and Sciences named after. S.G. Stroganova assumes that students from the first year are immersed in the profession, performing certification tasks that are close to practical activities. Designers of modern interiors and urban environments cannot ignore lighting, which is a key tool for attracting attention and creating atmosphere.

Our company’s cooperation with the University of Arts and Industry begins with a course of lectures in the autumn semester. Each lesson is devoted to analysis of lighting solutions for certain areas of lighting design in interior and landscape design.

At the first lecture, the head of the Training Center of the Lighting Technologies company, Evgeniy Burdaev, told the first-year students about approaches to lighting retail facilities, which is especially useful for future specialists in the field of Interior Design.
Retail in Russia is changing rapidly, new formats of retail spaces are developing, companies are reconsidering their approach to creating a brand image. The leading role in the positioning and effective presentation of goods is given to lighting.
Evgeniy Burdaev, based on his own design experience and examples of the most significant implemented projects of Lighting Technologies, showed approaches to arranging lighting equipment and told how to choose the correct gradation of illumination in a sales area.

The speaker, of course, paid special attention to accent lighting and techniques for working with color in retail. Color helps to support the brand, create the necessary contrast and focus the consumer’s attention on seasonal offers or promotional products. This is most clearly seen in grocery stores, where certain product items are illuminated with devices with a shifted spectrum.

An hour and a half flew by in a blink. Now, in their course projects, the guys from RSUHPU will be able to think through an individual lighting concept for their facility.

The lecture for environmental designers and future specialists in multimedia design was of a more general nature. There we revealed the functions of lighting in architecture, public spaces and private interiors.

Communication with Russian manufacturers is useful for young professionals, as confirmed by teachers and heads of design departments at the Stroganov University. We have planned a long-term program of cooperation and the preparation of targeted training programs taking into account the needs of students and current educational plans.
