The Department of Construction and Engineering Projects at Al-Zahra University (peace be upon her) for women, in cooperation with the Department of Continuing Education, held a scientific workshop entitled: (Interior Design, Modern Lighting Methods and Light Distribution in Buildings), presented by Engineer: Amira Abbas Al-Amiri, on Saturday 1/28/2023. At 12:30, at Al-Kawthar Hall for Continuing Education. The workshop aims to introduce the concept of lighting and its importance in designing, which are of two types: natural lighting and artificial lighting, and the latter also has types, including festive, formal and creative lighting. Common mistakes were shown when choosing lighting in proportion to the colour shades of the wall, as dark colours absorb light, while bright colours reflect light and increase its strength, so the shades used in painting walls must be taken under consideration before planning a new construction.
