Through the comparison between international experts from different disciplines—lighting design, architecture, anthropology and science—the event seeks to stimulate an interdisciplinary reflection on the culture of light. The goal is to explore the potential of light not only as a functional and aesthetic factor, but also as an essential component in the perception of spaces and in collective well-being.
