Alvar Aalto - A master of natural and electric light in architecture.

In this episode Jackson and Antony look at the work of Alvar Aalto.  Specifically, we look at his library buildings and the relationship to lighting design and daylight.  Aalto’s work spans over 5 decades and each of his library buildings we see an evolution of the way he uses daylight to create spaces.  We explore the influences of luminaire design on his architecture and how he created a model of nature and the environment that inspired his interior architecture.

Light: Cities and Architecture is an exploration of architecture and urban design since the invention of electric lighting. The initial aim of the podcast is to explore how developments in lighting technology have influenced the built environment. Jackson Stigwood (Lighting designer at A Billion Suns) and Antony DiMase (Lead architect at DiMase Architects) will look at key figures in both lighting design and architecture to understand the relationship between cities and light. Changing direction, Antony will now be interviewing distinguished guests on the theme Design More to Consume Less.
