AUGUST 9, 2021: The practice of Digital Placemaking through lighting has transformed dramatically in recent years, with technology such as addressable LED, sensors, projection, and advanced digital control systems pushing the boundaries of what is possible. A new industry is emerging that combines innovative lighting and fabrication techniques with new technologies traditionally used on the stage. This presentation explores the existing world of architectural placemaking and discussing the common challenges associated with creating unique architectural installations.

Robb Pope
Founder
Robb Pope founded Digital Ambiance after 5 years of concert touring as a lighting designer and video engineer. Recognizing the growing market for innovative lighting projection and interactive installations he put together a team of artists and engineers to design and build the architectural lighting installations Digital Ambiance is now known for. Using a combination of addressable LED, projection mapping, and new sensor technology, Digital Ambiance is pushing the boundaries of what it means to create architectural lighting and new media installations.

AUGUST 11, 2021: Design is about and significant to people! It is when this simple concept is understood that design thought can move from the mundane and archaic to something that is meaningful and inspiring. But people are different. It's intrinsic to our biology and psychology. And people are complex, it's what makes us unique and fascinating. It's therefore imperative for us to understand the nuances of human thought before designing. This is an immersive experience, partly intuitive and partly theoretical. This session reviews some renowned designers' approach to context in their designs and then presents a few completed and work-in-progress projects, to understand and develop these context-based design solutions. The presentation would focus on the approach and the process more and the results less, with the intention that those attending are able to distil their own process and develop an intuitive template for ascertaining context of place, time, application, philosophy and motivation.

Linus Lopez
Partner
Lirio Lopez Lighting Design Consultants
Linus has been a partner in Lirio Lopez Lighting Design Consultants since earning his Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) degree in 1991. He has been responsible for engaging with clients and design teams to understand requirements and then design, specify and quantify the electrical services to meet those requirements. He has worked on a wide spectrum of projects from 750 bed hospitals and Super Deluxe Hotels to Airport Hangars and Delhi Metro Stations, from large scale housing communities to individual residences and in a wide variety of commercial and entertainment projects. Most of the projects have had a high level of sustainable design (compliance to LEED - USGBC and IGBC, and GRIHA) from an electrical and lighting perspective and some have been awarded and received recognition for this.
With a Master’s degree in Architectural Lighting and Design Management from Hochschule Wismar, Linus has also successfully designed and commissioned over a hundred architectural lighting design projects. The transition from core electrical engineering to the more creative aspects of lighting design began with smaller night clubs and art galleries and has slowly grown over a period of 21 years to include corporate offices, institutional campuses, multi-dwelling residential developments, museums, heritage monuments and hospitality & fine dining in India and abroad.
Linus has presented his work and research at various professional international conferences in Macao, Paris, Singapore and Barcelona at PLDC and IALD and other lighting design events. He has conducted a number of workshops on design and lighting in India and in Hungary. He is currently serving as visiting faculty to the prestigious School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi, but has also conducted workshops and master classes at other design schools in India. -

AUGUST 12, 2021: The topic is associated with how to build better-lit environments in social housing developments to stimulate social interaction and to reduce physical, biological and physiological effects on the users/residents trying to perceive social housing again as a solution for the development of the cities and growing population around the world. Attendees will be related to the topic because of the wide range of application and impact on different cultural, geographical and environmental backgrounds

Gerardo Pavon
Lighting Designer
The Flaming Beacon Lighting Designers
I'm a passionate lighting designer with a background in architecture and design originally from Mexico.
After 7 years of experience in the field of high-end architecture in Mexico City, I decided to slightly change my career towards lighting design, achieving an M.A in Architectural lighting design at the University of Wismar in Germany and later moving to Australia to continue my professional practice in "The Flaming Beacon Lighting Designers" currently having at least 5 years of experience in lighting for hospitality, theatre, residential amongst other projects.
My latest research "Inclusive lighting for social housing" and my cultural and geographical background has driven me to find a way to dedicate my professional practice towards a contribution to our communities and environment with the premise that good quality lighting should not be underestimated no matter what the condition, abilities, or social status is. -

AUGUST 9, 2021: Adaptive lighting systems can provide a wealth of value and functionality to many lighting applications, but their adoption has been minimal so far due to technology limitations and complexity. In this session we will review the state of the art in digital light source technology and relevant optics and controls technologies to educate the audience on what is possible with these latest technological advances and commercially available components. We will then discuss several practical use cases with quantifiable benefits, including energy savings, visual performance, installation cost, and new functionalities, to help attendees identify potential applications in their own field and guide implementation.
