On 27 November AANT hosted “Because The Light – Light, Shadow and Harmony”, a new event in the Meet the Expert series dedicated to contemporary approaches to lighting design and the role of light in architecture. The session featured a dialogue between Prof. Alessandra Reggiani, AANT lecturer and lighting designer, and Dr. Federica Giuliani, researcher at the University of Tuscia and specialist in natural light.
The conversation explored how light shapes perception, supports emotional wellbeing and defines the atmosphere of architectural spaces. Through an in-depth reflection on the relationship between light and shadow, the speakers highlighted how a well-designed lighting strategy can enhance spatial quality and transform environments into meaningful experiences.
The event offered students from our Academic Bachelor Programmes an opportunity to deepen their understanding of lighting as a key element in contemporary architectural practice.
