On Wednesday, September 13, at 7 p.m., in the La Model auditorium, we closed the annual conference cycle on architectural lighting with a session by architect Mariona Benedito. The conference is: "There is a Crack in Everything. That's How the Light Gets In", title borrowed from the song Anthem by Leonard Cohen.
The talk will be about light as a revealing element. Of the visions that move and excite us. Light as artifice, as a mechanism that reveals reality or fiction and imprints a memory. Light will be treated in facilities, in public spaces and in ephemera.
