Light perspectives between culture and technology, addressing light, space and concepts (Based on the ERCO book, which Thomas Schielke wrote: https://www.erco.com/en/service/media/the-erco-book-light-perspectives-4803/).

'What are the intrinsic qualities of light, and what techniques and design approaches are needed to implement them in architecture? How are abstract lighting concepts conveyed, and how far is our perception of light rooted in the biological and cultural history of human evolution?'
