This thesis explores the evolution of lighting design, analyzing the role of light as a functional, aesthetic, and emotional element in architectural spaces and lighting products. Starting from a historical and technical investigation, the study delves into the physical principles of lighting, innovation in light sources, and the impact of Italian design, with a particular focus on Made in Italy and its protagonists. Through the analysis of iconic archetypes, it highlights how the interaction between form, materials, and technology has defined the identity of contemporary lighting design. The research concludes with a design application: the creation of a lamp inspired by organic design, developed through parametric modeling and 3D printing, which combines formal experimentation, sustainability, and user interaction. The work demonstrates how lighting design is a constantly evolving discipline, where technological innovation and aesthetic sensibility merge to create lighting solutions that meet both functional and narrative needs.
Il lavoro di tesi esplora l’evoluzione del lighting design, analizzando il ruolo della luce come elemento funzionale, estetico ed emozionale negli spazi architettonici e nel prodotto illuminotecnico. Partendo da un’indagine storica e tecnica, lo studio approfondisce i principi fisici dell’illuminazione, l’innovazione nelle sorgenti luminose e l’impatto del design italiano, con particolare attenzione al Made in Italy e ai suoi protagonisti.Attraverso l’analisi di archetipi iconici, viene evidenziato come l’interazione tra forma, materiali e tecnologia abbia definito l’identità del lighting design contemporaneo. La ricerca si conclude con un’applicazione progettuale: la realizzazione di una lampada ispirata al design organico, sviluppata mediante modellazione parametrica e stampa 3D, che coniuga sperimentazione formale, sostenibilità e interazione con l’utente. Il lavoro dimostra come il lighting design sia una disciplina in costante evoluzione, dove innovazione tecnologica e sensibilità estetica si fondono per creare soluzioni illuminotecniche che rispondono sia a esigenze funzionali che narrative.

Abstract
This thesis explores the evolution of lighting design, analyzing the role of light as a functional, aesthetic, and emotional element in architectural spaces and lighting products. Starting from a historical and technical investigation, the study delves into the physical principles of lighting, innovation in light sources, and the impact of Italian design, with a particular focus on Made in Italy and its protagonists. Through the analysis of iconic archetypes, it highlights how the interaction between form, materials, and technology has defined the identity of contemporary lighting design. The research concludes with a design application: the creation of a lamp inspired by organic design, developed through parametric modeling and 3D printing, which combines formal experimentation, sustainability, and user interaction. The work demonstrates how lighting design is a constantly evolving discipline, where technological innovation and aesthetic sensibility merge to create lighting solutions that meet both functional and narrative needs.I documenti in UNITESI sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
