The Euroluce International Lighting Forum  
Light for Life. Light for Spaces
10th – 11th April
The Forest of Space Arena by Sou Fujimoto  
Directed by Annalisa Rosso, in collaboration with APIL
Euroluce, Fiera Milano, Rho (Pav. 2) 
 

The Euroluce International Lighting Forum, directed by Annalisa Rosso with the collaboration of APIL: 10 and 11 April, 6 masterclasses, 2 round tables and 2 workshops hosted in The Forest of Space Arena (pav. 2), designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, creator of the Grand Ring, a wooden structure with a circumference of 2km that will surround the national pavilions of the countries present at Expo 2025 Osaka. At Euroluce, The Forest of Space Arena, a project curated by VIV Arts, will be built with natural pine beams arranged vertically, drawing inspiration from the organic vitality of forests.

The event will be held under the title Light for Life. Light for Spaces, master classes, round tables and workshops will be held. These will be led by twenty international speakers, including lighting designers, architects, artists, set designers, scientists, biologists, anthropologists, astronomers and psychologists. These speakers have been invited to share their visions, insights, research and design practices. The aim is to stimulate a deeper understanding of the future of lighting. Light will thus be addressed not only in its technological potential, but also through an anthropological and philosophical reflection to understand what will guide its design in the inhabited space of tomorrow

Architects registered with CNAPPC can obtain 10 CFPs by participating in The Euroluce International Lighting Forum (5 CFPs for Thursday 10 and 5 CFPs for Friday 11). Access is free with the entrance ticket to the Salone del Mobile. For the recognition of credits, pre-registration is recommended.
