Day 2, 10th June 2010, 11:35 - 'Lighting for people - can LED's cut it?'
Martin started his career in Lighing as a researcher at Liverpool School of Architecture and Environmental Engineering he then progressed into architectural lighting design and became design director of two of the UK’s leading independent lighting practices, most recently the director of the lighting profession in multi-disciple design practice BDP. Martin is the current President of the Professional Lighting Designers Association - a global organisation dedicated to establishing and developing the profession of lighting design.In conjunction with Sharon Stammers, Martin has co-founded a new practice - Light Collective. Light Collective has been tipped by many people as the next generation of lighting consultancy. Working inside and outside the standard architectural design framework, Light Collective is fueled by Sharon and Martin’s collective passion for light, collaboration and creativity.
Their aspiration is to understand, interpret and work with light in all of its contexts - artistic, social, architectural, commercial, cultural, physiological and psychological. The objective is that Light Collective provides an umbrella and platform for like-minded and inspired people to collaborate in a multitude of ways and in different formats. From architectural lighting design, light installations and film, to education, community engagement, professional development and marketing, Light Collective is a home for, or the foundations from which many projects can be constructed – all with the medium that fundamentally drives us at their heart - LIGHT.
