During my university studies, very little was said directly about light: it is a subject that I have dealt with transversally in various fields (more on an artistic and perceptive level), but never in a<\/span> explicitly technical. When I left university, I didn’t even know it was a possibility <\/span>career path, and I found myself there by chance, at a time when I wanted stability, <\/span>responding trivially to an advertisement seeking an architect. The person who <\/span>The interview was conducted by Barbara Balestreri, whom I will always hold dear in my heart<\/span>, because she was the one who saw beyond the surface and set me on a path that eventually became my definitive one<\/span>, to which I decided to devote all my energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/div>Who or what has most influenced your way of thinking about light?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>
\n
I can say with certainty that my overall view was influenced by what was one of my most intense periods from a creative point of view: I wrote my degree thesis on exploration.<\/span> urban, as the art of going where one should not go. After graduating, this led me to <\/span>led to me becoming part of a real family of explorers, Lost Italy, with whom<\/span> we visited many abandoned places, documenting everything through photography.<\/span><\/p>\nWe have always been driven by the same spirit of respect for these places, of curiosity towards history and fascination with a light that cannot be described in words. In the group <\/span>there were, and still are, some amazing photographers who taught me so much and<\/span> shared with me the importance of taking the time to observe, contemplate and appreciate. understand. In abandoned places, you have the opportunity to fully admire the <\/span>relationship between natural light and architecture. In the work of a lighting designer, beyond all <\/span>fundamental technical knowledge, it is equally important to know how to read light<\/span>, visualise it and predict how it will settle in a space.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/div>Do you have a \u201cbright philosophy\u201d that guides your work?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>
\n
The only philosophy I can imagine is the need to be able to tell a story at the time of the project. In addition to knowing how to read light, you must also be able to <\/span>understand the client and the goal to be achieved. This is easier said than done: <\/span>it is a skill that must be cultivated as much as technical knowledge, but one must also have a certain innate ability: we are talking about empathy, the ability to read others. It is therefore not so much a philosophy of light as of design in general: knowing how to ask the <\/span>right questions, understanding tastes and needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
Knowing how to position a project economically is also a fundamental part of good success of this. Communication with all <\/span>Professional skills involved: the lighting design must bring together the client<\/span>, architectural concept, construction site requirements, electrical design, and interior design (in<\/span> interior contexts). It is not possible to draw up a good project without having the whole package. <\/span>information. So, another thing that is proving to be fundamental with experience, <\/span>It’s about character: knowing how to make yourself heard, respected and get answers from everyone, at the right time. <\/span>They are parts of a whole, without some of which the final project will not be effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
A look at the sector and the future of lighting<\/h2><\/h2><\/div><\/i><\/div>How do you envision the evolution of lighting design over the next 10 years?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>
\n
If I try to think about how the landscape has evolved over the last 10 years, I would say that in another 10 years, everything will be simplified and there will be greater freedom of management.<\/span> of light. The advent of LEDs has made us a little dizzy: we see projects with an infinite number of <\/span>lighting points, with many different scenarios, difficult to manage, with general overexposure, <\/span>which is mostly useless and redundant. So in 10 years’ time, I imagine less <\/span>sources, but with more automated management and customisation. Artificial intelligence <\/span>It could, for example, record our habits and independently adjust the lighting in the <\/span>course of the day. More effective sensors, programmed based on wellbeing data. <\/span>objective and organisational needs. Light management is already a hot topic: <\/span>I’m curious to see where it will end up.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Point-blank<\/h2><\/h2><\/div><\/i><\/div>A place that taught you something about light.<\/h2><\/div><\/div>
\n
To reiterate what has already been said: any environment in an abandoned place, where there is at least one window with closed shutters covered in cobwebs and climbing plants<\/span>, allowing light to penetrate through the smallest of cracks, revealing the space as if there were always belonged. Whether it’s a beautiful sunny day or a rainy day <\/span>swinging.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/div>If light were music, what would it be?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>
\n
I would like to rephrase the question a little, because reading it made me think more of a book than a song. Immersed in everyday life, in the sterile necessities of the market, we <\/span>too often forget the poetry that should move everything. Over <\/span>the centuries, human beings have created wonderful things, but today I have the feeling that we are trying to <\/span>erase everything noble that could be done. I have always had enormous respect for <\/span>Kandinsky’s work, for which music, colour and light seem to me to be one and the same. I would recommend <\/span>reading \u201cConcerning the Spiritual in Art\u201d to understand how to look at things.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Closing questions \u2013 Connection with Spacecannon values<\/h2><\/h2><\/div><\/i><\/div>How do you experience the relationship between creativity and technology when you design with light?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>
\n
Technology is constantly evolving and is nothing more than a tool for communication. the best of what we want to design creatively. It allows us to look beyond, to <\/span>move forward and find new solutions. Creativity has no boundaries, and technology <\/span>walk hand in hand, because it also takes a lot of creativity to conceive new ideas. <\/span>technologies. What exactly is meant by technology? It is a very broad concept: in any case, for <\/span>As far as I am concerned, anything that helps you express yourself and create is welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
