Date: Tuesday 15-09-2026
Class schedule: 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Location: UPC School (Badajoz, 73. Barcelona)

On Tuesday, 15 September, at 7:00 pm, we look forward to welcoming you to the UPC School (c/ Badajoz 73-77, Barcelona) for a new session in our architectural lighting lecture series. On this occasion, our guest speaker will be Ulrike Brandi, a renowned German lighting designer. 

Light shapes our surroundings, but its impact goes much further: it nurtures, alters and seduces. Whether artificial or natural, light influences our emotions and the way we perceive architecture and urban spaces. Through landmark projects such as Trident Park in Malta and ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo, Ulrike Brandi will show us how to approach lighting design from a beautiful, sustainable and holistic perspective, reflecting the philosophy and systematic approach that guide her work.

This Open Talent will be held in English.
