Earlier this month, ITP/IMA faculty Tom Igoe and ITP student B Wu traveled to Light Symposium, in Wismar, Germany to present their research on spectral sensing tools and their usability/accessibility for lighting designers and design students. 

This year’s theme was “Responsible Lighting”, and many of the talks dealt with night time light pollution and its effect on the environment. Swipe for photos from the presentation and from a workshop where students designed night time lighting for the garden of a church in Wismar, responding to the designing for darkness principles outlined in the conference.

Their presentation was a collaboration with Georgios Triantafyllidis at Aalborg University in Copenhagen.
