LIGHT EDU Workshop

The LIGHT EDU workshop is open to people who are interested in architectural lighting. Under the creative and didactic coordination of LUPERCALES, the lighting design team from Barcelona, ​​the participants will
create temporary artistic installations based on a site-specific concept which will improve the perception of space around and on the iron pedestrian bridge in Timisoara.

The workshop sessions will take place in Timisoara during 5 days (29.09 – 03.10) and will consist in planning and creating the lighting installations using professional control devices and systems. The educational component of the workshop will focus on the ergonomics and perception of a space that is accentuated by artificial light. Each participant will have the opportunity to experiment with the development, testing and implementation of the concept and design of urban lighting for a real site.

Lupercales is a team of lighting designers from Barcelona that designs architectural lighting and have implemented numerous lighting installations in public spaces.

Their proposal, “Public space intervention: The concept of appropriation” is to illuminate the public space in order to strengthen the sense of belonging of the user, creating the framework through which he can control what is happening in his vicinity. “Creating a comfortable ambience, and the possibility to personalize the light, will allow us to send the message that the city is everyone’s, a place that you would take care and be proud of.”

The workshop is part of the broader program of the LIGHT EDU 2018 Symposium in the BETA framework – the Timisoara Architecture Biennial 2018. Participation is free of charge. 20 spots are available. For more information and application visit us at: lightedu.eu

Lupercales

LUPERCALES is an empirical programme around lighting design in urban areas and community engagement on designing the use of public spaces. They propose lighting interventions as a way to detect critical situations and develop, test reactivation strategies for public spaces, through a perception-oriented lighting design, respectful of the singularity of each project.

Born in 2012 as a collaboration between three independent lighting designers: Alberto Barberá, Irene Bas and Paolo Portaluri. They combine activism, pedagogy and direct action in urban context, using architectural lighting as a tool for questioning the processes behind urban planning. Later on, Álvaro Valdecantos joined them as a professional photographer, being part of the team. Their research followed an interchange with communities and students through workshops and temporary interventions on public space.

Their objective is to add the experience gained from these tactical actions to the professional practice, always focusing it in the peculiar social context of each project, looking for building better and more liveable cities.
