The Open Talent session on "Light: plastic material" with Antón Amann, an architect, lighting designer and the founder of the studio Architectural Lighting Solutions, will take place in the Roca Barcelona Gallery (c/Joan Güell 211, Barcelona) at 7:30 pm on Thursday 28 March, 2015.
In this lecture, Amann will explain how light is more than a tool for adding value to space. In conjunction with architecture, the discipline it serves, light becomes a material in its own right: a material which when subjected to the laws of plastic, has immense transforming power over spaces. In short, lighting is an exercise of art, design, architecture and sculpting material - PLASTIC MATERIAL.
