Light Focus on Milan
“What defines excellent lighting design?” Excellence is not only something a lighting designer strives for; it is the nature of the art of lighting design. On the occasion of the Euroluce fair in Milan/I from 22. - 27. April, 2009 the Professional Lighting Designers’ Association, PLDA and the Italian Lighting Designers’ Association Associazione Professionisti dell’illuminazione, APIL will be staging the ninth international Light Focus conference on 23. – 24. April, 2009. When a professional lighting designer is commissioned to do a job, he or she is satisfied with nothing less than an excellent result. But what defines excellent lighting design? What different approaches and concepts can be applied to attain the desired and required quality? Light Focus on Milan at Euroluce will be providing answers. The 14 sessions cover topics of interest and relevance to all those involved in architectural lighting design and creating spaces that meet users’ requirements and clients’ expectations.
