TECHNOLOGY / IALD ENLIGHTEN AMERICAS, MONTREAL, CANADA
LA VIE EN LUMIERE The IALD successfully hosted its 13th Enlighten Americas conference at the Hyatt Regency, Montréal.
A record 400 lighting design professionals attended IALD Enlighten Americas for three days of networking, association business and world-class lighting education. The educational component of the conference opened on the morning of Friday, 4 October with a keynote by world- renowned architect Michael Pawlyn of Exploration Architecture. Pawlyn boasts a penchant for the natural world and a keen eye for design; combining these two passions, he delivered a fascinating talk on biomimicry, a broad and still-growing field that looks to solve a wide range of human problems by drawing lessons from the designs and processes of nature. Pawlyn’s talk suggested ways biomimicry might be
applied to lighting design by discussing the modification of the use of electric light. An inspiring keynote set the tone for two days of lighting education in three tracks: Art, Science and Professional Tools. Attendees customised their experiences, choosing the speakers and sessions most pertinent to their work in lighting design. One attendee shared, “The seminars were great. The topics were diverse, and the presenters were top notch.” Professional Tools highlights included individual presentations from IALD Fellows Chip Israel of Lighting Design Alliance (‘It’s Okay To Make Money: Here’s How’), and Charles Stone of Fisher Marantz Stone (‘Communicating Light: Inspiration,
Presentation And Realization’), who each shared strategies for running a successful design business. Kevan Shaw, KSLD, presented his paper ‘Post Occupancy: Why And How To Evaluate User Experiences’, which he also repeated at PLDC in Copenhagen a month later, thatquestioned whether a designer knows if a scheme is delivering quality unless some kind of Post Occupancy Evaluation is carried out. The Art Track featured a meditative, inspirational talk on the social history of light and lighting from David DiLaura of Acuity Brands, as well as a unique panel on Culture + Darkness from Gaurav Jain of Lighting Planners Associates; Victor Palacio,
