Date: Wednesday 17-06-2026
Class schedule: 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Location: UPC School (Badajoz, 73. Barcelona)

On Wednesday, June 17, at 7 p.m., we look forward to seeing you at UPC School (c/Badajoz 73-77, Barcelona) for a new session of our lecture series on architectural lighting. On this occasion, we will feature Gerd Pfarré, a renowned international lighting designer.

Brightness is the result of the degree of light reflection on a surface. This presentation invites us to delve into the sensitivity of considering light reflection when working with light, an essential element for the visual perception and understanding of form and space. Through an approach to the author's lighting design projects, we will discover a way of working that precisely adapts to the specific needs of each project, environment, and cultural context.

This Open Talent event will be held in English.
