ONLINE! "No time to waste" - TEDxBerlin Salon

Written By Sabine De Schutter

The recent TEDxBerlin Salon took place on the 11th and 12th of April in Berlin titled "No Time To Waste" – Our Future In A Circular Economy. ♻️

The spotlight was on sustainable and circular models and innovative solutions for a better future. Among the speakers, Sabine De Schutter with her talk on sustainability and circularity in lighting design. 

Sabine emphasized how thoughtful design can reduce energy consumption, and can create healthier and more sustainable cities. A circular approach in architecture and lighting design is possible, that projects like Impact Hub Berlin and the recent Full Node remodelling demonstrate.

Her insights not only highlighted the urgency of environmental responsibility but also showcased practical steps we can take towards a brighter, more sustainable future. 🌍✨

Circularity in architecture and design is the focus of Sabine De Schutter's TEDx Berlin talk. Learn how challenging design and construction norms lead to innovative projects that effectively integrate nature, daylight and improve living quality all while keeping sustainability at the top of mind. Discover how urban mining can reshape our cities through repurposing building materials and the promotion of refurbishment over new construction. From creative architectural approaches to the use of recycled and upcycled materials in projects like Impact Hub Berlin, learn how circular methods in architecture and lighting design are shaping a sustainable future in the built environment.

Belgian lighting designer Sabine De Schutter founded her eponymous Studio De Schutter based in Berlin. Studio De Schutter provides lighting consultancy services from creative planning for artificial lighting to daylight optimization, as well as the planning of dark-sky-friendly solutions. Sabine teaches architectural lighting design at Wismar University of Applied Sciences and design innovation at the Hasso-Plattner Institute, and is the ambassador for Women in Lighting in Germany. With many years of experience, curiosity, and technical expertise, Sabine De Schutter's work is characterized by a sustainable and innovative approach.

Sabine De Schutter

Founded in Berlin in 2015 by Belgian born Sabine De Schutter, Studio De Schutter reflects the strong belief that architectural lighting design is much more than just lighting up the built environment.

As independent lighting designers, the studio's focus is on user-centred design, because design is about creating meaningful spaces that positively affect people's lives. Studio De Schutter work focuses on creative lighting for working spaces, custom fixtures for heritage buildings to workshops and installations for public space.The studio's motto = #creativityisourcurrency

Sabine teaches at the HPI d.school, Hochschule Wismar, is an IALD member and the ambassador for Women in Lightingin Germany.

Studio De Schutter wurde 2015 von der in Belgien geborenen Sabine De Schutter (*1984) in Berlin gegründet. Die in Berlin lebende Designerin studierte Innenarchitektur in Antwerpen und Barcelona, hat einen zweiten Master-Abschluss in architektonischem Lichtdesign (HS Wismar) und studierte Design Thinking an der HPI d.school in Potsdam.

Das Studio De Schutter zeigt, dass es beim architektonischen Lichtdesign darum geht, Wahrnehmung zu formen und Erfahrungen zu schaffen. Für Studio De Schutter geht es beim Lichtdesign darum, eindrucksvolle Umgebungen zu schaffen, die das Leben der Menschen positiv beeinflussen. Der Benutzer steht im Mittelpunkt ihres Ansatzes und deshalb lassen sie und ihr Team sich nicht durch konventionelle Beleuchtungsstandards einschränken. Sie arbeiten eng mit ihren Kunden zusammen, um die Vision des Projekts und die Nutzerbedürfnisse zu verstehen und sie mit Licht zu akzentuieren. Das Studio De Schutter hat kreative Lichtlösungen für Arbeitsumgebungen, Lichtkunstinstallationen und kundenspezifische Leuchten in seinem Portfolio. Heute ist es ein vierköpfiges Team von internationalen Power-Frauen, die sich alle leidenschaftlich damit, wie Licht den Raum, die Erfahrungen und Emotionen formt, beschäftigt.
