Synopsis of Presentation:
Lighting design has the power to deeply affect our emotions and perceptions of space. As technology advances and people become more reliant on artificial lighting, it is increasingly important for lighting designers to consider not just the visual and aesthetic aspects of their work, but also the biological impact of light on humans.
In this presentation, Cheryline shares her journey of discovering the greater meaning and potential impact of lighting design on the built environment. She is passionate about learning more about both natural and artificial lighting, and emphasizes the importance of collaboration and mindfulness in creating a more sustainable approach to lighting design that contributes to a better world.
