We will work on the design and manufacture of the individual Luminaires. Be prepared to work on the actual luminaire, as well as to work on drawings and written descriptions that explain how you arrived at the design and construction of your luminaire. Use proper terminology to describe your luminaire, its function, its location, and its component parts. I will be online, via Teams, and available to speak with you individually or in groups as needed.
You need to do preliminary designing, through sketching or computer modeling, and initial mock ups and tests for fabrication of your luminaire.
