As part of the elective seminar, students working in groups of 3 people will prepare architectural and lighting concept for an international competition: "LOFT-BEFORE AND NOWADAYS" organized by the Polish Lighting Industry Association), co-organized by Goczołowie Architekci OVO Grąbczewscy Architects and the SOMA Agency, the organizer of the International LIGHT Fair.

The subject of the Competition is a loft. It may be an adaptation of an old, existing facility as a loft, or a design of a new facility or a loft-like interior. The function of the facility may be different (residential, commercial, office, etc.) 

The Jury expects unconventional loft solutions both in old structures of existing facilities and in new lofts. An important role in the project is also to play the analysis of the impact of natural, natural and artificial light on the character and space of the loft, creating a loft style or climate.

The project may be purely theoretical. It is important to present the course of thought and reasons for further creative design decisions as well as to present the details.  

When designing and creating an object or interior, KANLUX lighting solutions should be used, i.e. a luminaire or luminaires with appropriate lighting parameters and decorative values. The type or types of luminaires used are free, with the assumption that they will form a single, coherent whole with the architectural and spatial elements of the loft. They must also meet the requirements of the function for which they are applied.
