Guide 01: Biophilic Design

Our guide explores biophilia, the innate human connection with nature. By integrating natural elements inside builidings like daylight, greenery, water, and natural materials, this approach reduces stress, boosts creativity, and enhances comfort, fostering harmony between people, nature and spaces. 

Guide 02: Beyond Light + Building 2024

Beyond Light + Building 2024: A Guide to Emerging Design Philosophies explores the key themes from Light + Building 2024, held in Frankfurt, the leading event for lighting, electrical engineering, and smart building technologies. From well-being-focused lighting to miniaturization and invisible lighting, we connect these innovations to broader design and technology trends, offering insights into the evolving landscape of the industry.

Guide 03: Re-Think, Re-Use

Re-Think, Re-Use: Architectural Reconversion explores how adaptive reuse and urban regeneration breathe new life into abandoned spaces. Featuring projects like Paris’ La Bourse de Commerce, New York’s High Line, and Tirana’s Pyramid, we highlight how thoughtful design preserves history while transforming urban landscapes.

Guide 04: Atmosfera Plus

Atmosfera Plus is a mini-collection of studies and projects exploring how light shapes emotional and sensory experiences. By enhancing sacredness, promoting well-being, and evoking emotional resonance, light transforms spaces in profound ways. From innovative urban lighting to the thoughtful illumination of spiritual sites, this collection highlights how design uses light to create tranquility, foster connection, and enrich our relationship with the environments we inhabit.

Guide 05: Wood Architecture, lights aesthetics

Wood is no longer just a nod to tradition—it’s a bold answer to the future.

Lightweight yet strong, warm yet efficient, local yet scalable, wood is redefining how we build. From climate-conscious skyscrapers to human-scale public spaces, it brings sustainability, speed and beauty to urban architecture.

Download our guide and explore how wood is shaping the cities of tomorrow.

Guide 06: Designing with light in the age of AI

A tool for professionals, this selection of recent projects shows how the integration of AI, responsive technologies, and critical design thinking can redefine our spaces and the way we relate to light.

Download our guide and discover the new approaches and methods to combine lighting.

Guide 07: New museums and iconic expansions

Museums have never been simple containers. From the earliest Wunderkammern to today’s large-scale cultural institutions, the relationship between architecture and content has always defined how we experience art.

This guide brings together a selection of recently inaugurated museums and major expansions across the world, from London to Cairo, from Paris to Los Angeles. You’ll discover case studies that rethink the museum as a civic landmark, a working infrastructure, and a dynamic environment where people, artworks, and cities continuously interact.

Download the guide and explore how architecture is redefining the museum experience.
