Webinar: Join IES Vancouver & Emre Gunes on October 8th

September 17, 2020

It’s been 70 years since Richard Kelly called himself an architectural lighting designer and the profession is growing since. But is it fast enough? Can we do something about it?

Emre proposes to look at how we, lighting professionals, talk about light and what can/should be changed to create a greater awareness of lighting design value? By talking differently about light, can we change the perception of the profession?

Because just like Kenneth Wapnick said once: “Miracles are a shift in perception.” Can we help the shift to happen?

Join IES Vancouver & Emre Gunes on October 8th, 2020 at 9:00 AM for a talk with Emre about the world of lighting and the challenges and roles of a lighting designer.

Cost: $5, $10, or $20 donation

All proceeds will be donated to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.
