On Tuesday, June 13, at 7:00 p.m., in Ca l'Alier, a new session of the series of conferences on architectural lighting will take place. We will have the prestigious architect Elisa Valero as a speaker.
Light is a gift, like beauty, but to enjoy it you have to adjust to the rhythms of nature and learn, above all, to contemplate. We cannot, like the Little Prince on his planet, see the twilight whenever we feel like it. Through light, architecture is humanized when it guides man. In vernacular architecture and in the works of the masters of all times, there is always a lesson in light. These works show examples of how space is qualified through this intangible matter.
