The problem of development of the new profession of light designer primarily resides in development of the training methodology, cooperation of architects, lighting engineers, psychologists, colourists, social scientists in the sphere of education and their common understanding of importance of both artistic and technical design of lighting. Since the beginning of the 2000’s, the methodology for light design training has been created in Vladivostok, and the results of this work are presented in student projects and some theoretical projects, methodological and training guidelines and scientific articles. The methodology is based on contemporary examples and theory of light design in Russia and abroad; studying of media facades and light surfaces, lighting installations, light design of architectural ensembles; modelling of light panoramas of the city and areas of esplanades; training in the basics of light composition. The article describes the logic of the training process, which starts with creation of a light composition for modelling of the light panorama and lighting ensemble and forming of night time architectural and environmental spaces of the city, and methodology for light design in the sphere of architectural environment projects and education of light designers. 1.
