Architectural Lighting Design

David Trubridge with Francesca Bastianini

wakaNINE proudly hosts FROM THE EDGE, a series of conversations led by David Trubridge with special guests from the global design world. David explores & discusses our current predicament and the pressing issues we face as we look to the future. What role can & should design play to define and drive the new "un-normal"?

This week's guest is Francesca Bastianini, co-founder and principal of the Brooklyn based architectural lighting design practice, Sighte Studio. David will explore the art, science and social responsibility of architectural lighting design with Francesca who folds education, research and community engagement into her practice. Drawing on her background in theatre and psychology, Francesca's design work is attentive to people's interaction with space, considering both an individual's well-being and their aesthetic experience.
