Lighting Portable Technical Cabinet as a Teaching Tool

摘要

This lighting cabinet was created with the main purpose of underlining the importance of the lighting learning for architecture students. It is a solution in-between the traditional showroom and the technical case, able to provide the aesthetical and technical values of architecture. Its multiple didactic possibilities, as well as, the little space required and economical investment turn it into a really interesting proposal. The cabinet, which can be considered as a mobile laboratory, needs minimum maintenance and can be easily stored. An operational control has been designed in order to ease the replication of this teaching experience in other Schools of Architecture or Engineering. Thanks to the cabinet design the students interact with real elements that allow the learning by touching. This way of teaching improves the quality of the learning process due to the fact that the students understand the concepts better, favouring the permanent and meaningful learning.
