Enter our world of lighting design with our latest community roundup. We're thrilled to welcome a wave of new members to our growing community, creating an increasingly diverse group of lighting professionals sharing insights and inspiration.
Mark your calendars for two webinars approaching: Sarvdeep Basur presents "Preserving Darkness" on July 24th, hosted by the Signify Lighting Academy, which explores the balance between design excellence and environmental responsibility. Henk Rotman presents "The Growing Role of Controls" on July 25th, hosted by BHA School of Lighting, examining how technology is reshaping professional roles within our industry.
The highlight of this episode features a conversation between Martin Klaasen and Juan Ferrari discussing AI's transformative impact on lighting design. Juan, who directs a team of 25 lighting designers after transitioning from a theatrical background, offers a practical perspective on embracing AI as a powerful tool rather than viewing it as a threat. His journey from actor to lighting director illustrates how diverse experiences enhance creative approaches to lighting narratives in architectural spaces. "Everybody using AI is not cheating," Juan emphasises. "They're using a tool that is powering and amplifying what they're doing."
We also spotlight an exciting international opportunity – the design competition for ornamental lighting at the UNESCO World Heritage Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, with submissions open until August 19th. Finally, don't miss our preview of the upcoming Business of Lighting Design episode featuring Paul Nulty, who shares candid insights about the diverse skill set required to run a successful lighting design practice.
