Wednesday, 11 February 2026 · 3:00–6:30 PM
Berlin Chamber of Architects · Alte Jakobstraße 149

Light is more than illumination. It is a design tool that shapes spaces, guides perception, and creates atmosphere. This is exactly what this professional training seminar at the Berlin Chamber of Architects is about.

You won’t remember the lux value of a hotel.
You remember how it made you feel.

Hotel lighting is not background. It is atmosphere, attitude, identity. It decides whether a place feels calm or hectic, generous or distant, intimate or anonymous. And it does so quietly. Almost invisibly.

Daylight is one of the most powerful yet most delicate resources in the office. It works quietly, almost unnoticed, and still decisively shapes how we perceive spaces, how long we stay focused, and how comfortable we feel. An office with well-guided daylight does not explain itself. You feel it. Spaces appear more open, clearer, calmer. Work feels less exhausting. Time seems to pass differently.

Daylight is more than a passive environmental factor. It structures space, influences perception and well being, and plays a decisive role in energy performance and regulatory approval. As part of our holistic lighting approach, Studio De Schutter offers comprehensive Daylight Planning alongside architectural lighting design, from early concept phases to building permit applications.

Light defines how spaces feel long before architecture, materials or furniture are consciously perceived. It shapes orientation, atmosphere and identity. In 2026, good lighting is not about more technology, but about clearer principles. The following ten fundamentals form a solid foundation for meaningful, long-lasting lighting design.
