CONFERENCE
International Conference January 30th 2009, Notodden, Norway
Professional Lighting Designers' Association (PLDA) and Notodden municipality, invite you to an international lighting conference in Telemark, Norway on the occasion of the PLDA's practical lighting workshop in Notodden 2009. Venue: Telemarksgalleriet in Notodden.
The theme of the conference is LIGHTING DESIGN IN THE WINTER TOWNSCAPE.
Winter Lights in Telemark is an event with a local, regional and international perspective addressing the crossover between lighting design and creative urban planning. Lighting design can be an important tool to support urban life in a rugged winter climate. Attractive social and cultural meeting places in townscapes are essential to keep the town alive during the dark months of the year. At the same time attention must be paid to finding sustainable solutions.
Professional lighting designers who have participated in the lighting projects during the workshop week, together with key speakers from the specialist field of planning and lighting will be addressing issues of interest and importance to lighting designers, architects, town planners, landscape designers, politicians, cultural and business officers and related disciplines.
Moderator: Joachim Ritter, FPLDA/D
