Developing a lighting concept: from strategy to dramaturgy
Start by analysing the use, the visual tasks, and the context. On this basis, you develop a lighting concept with a clear strategy and dramaturgy. In the design phase, you determine where the luminaires are positioned and what effect they should achieve. During implementation, you assess technology, efficiency, and precision. This is how structured lighting design takes shape.
Ask your clients questions!
Stage the spaces and take up the architecture
- Should light be integrated unobtrusively or deliberately staged?
- Where do you need particularly good visual comfort?
- Objective: a first clear lighting idea and dramaturgy
A good architect can answer these questions clearly, concretely, and vividly. Not only in technical terms, but also in images and effects.

The most important points
- 1Analyse the use, visual tasks, and context before defining the strategy and dramaturgy of your lighting concept.
- 2Apply Human Centric Lighting consistently across the three aspects of architecture, activity, and atmosphere – not just in terms of illuminance.
- 3Wash walls homogeneously with light for balanced contrast at computer workstations, and illuminate desks with additional zone-precise lighting.
