Mexico. ElA Expo Lighting America 2016 successfully completed, an event that for six years has stood out as the largest platform for the presentation of brands specialized in lighting and related technologies.
Attendees had the opportunity to visit the Green Museum, which was a circuit of interactive areas of innovative products and lighting applications, developed by companies committed to energy efficiency and the reduction of environmental impact.
One of the most important areas of the event were the keynote speeches, where renowned architects and interior designers presented a series of lectures, giving the opportunity to the audience to train in topics specific to the sector.
An example of this was Ramón Esteve, architect, designer and founder of Ramón Esteve Estudio, who gave the presentation "Light as matter", where he reflected on light through his projects of different scales in lighting, interior design and residential architecture.
Esteve mentioned that light has become the identity of matter, positioning itself as an aspect of great importance for architecture and interior design In this same sense, he noted that natural and artificial light have the power to transmit different sensations due to their dynamism, but each one influences people differently.
Another of the outstanding speakers was Manuel Torres, designer and founder of the Manuel Torres Design studio, who offered the conference "Why design with light and provide the space with its own emotions?", in which he pointed out that light in the architectural space has become a challenge, having artistic and sublime applications, which make it possible to relate properly to the environment. He also mentioned that the light applied to construction materials manage not only to adapt to moods but to transform the environment and turn it into different places.
Conferences such as those already mentioned, as well as: "Natural and artificial light in architectural photography", presented by Jaime Navarro, "Avant-garde ATP: The perfect LED and tailor-made remote management", by Guillermo Redrado and the videoconference of the Fuksas "Thunder over Mexico", were the topics taught on this last day of the event.
