Philips Lighting and Parsons The New School for Design ([ Ссылка ]) join forces for Luminous Talks, a new annual programming series, now in its second year, which brings together architects, lighting designers, academics, industry leaders and others to discuss innovations and current topics in the lighting design industry.

Raymond van Ee, a principal researcher at Philips and an expert on how the brain processes sensory signals will discuss how designers can create dynamic electric lighting systems that optimize human behavior.

This year's theme, titled "Nature and Man-Made," examines the dualistic relationship between natural and electrified lighting systems, sustainable practices and technological development.

Lighting has been an important part of design education at Parsons since the 1970s, when the school launched the first graduate program in this field. Today, the MFA in Lighting Design is one of the leading programs in the world to study the theories and practice affiliated with lighting design. For more information, visit [ Ссылка ]
