Is lighting design an art or a science? In this episode we feature Koert Vermeulen from ACT Lighting Design, based in Brussels, Belgium. Koert was one of our earliest thought leaders to share on the Virtual Lighting Design Community platform and it was certainly a memorable presentation.
Initially, Koert's presentation was shared only with premium members of the community. However, since opening up the community to a wider audience late last year and introducing free memberships, everyone will be able to have access to the great information shared by our earlier presenters. We have seen a tremendous amount of new members join the community and this is why we are excited to re-release this episode again. This time also as a podcast episode. Please enjoy and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
"Recreate exceptional experiences at the intersection of design, arts, and innovation." — Koert Vermeulen
Lighting is much more than just illumination—it's an art form that transforms spaces and experiences. Koert delves deep in to how lighting can evoke emotions, encourages interaction, and enhances narratives in environments. He shares his insights on the interplay of creativity and engineering, revealing the nuances that separate great lighting from mere functionality.
A central theme of the presentation is about the importance of storytelling in design and how a multidisciplinary approach helps blend visuals, sound, and interactivity into co-created experiences. Koert also discusses innovative brainstorming methods, like Miro, that enhance collaboration among team members, making the creative process more fluid and effective.
This presentation is not just for lighting design professionals; it’s for anyone interested in the art of creating memorable experiences. Join us as we take an in depth look at how thoughtful design can impact our lives and spaces.
