Light Emergencies
Ignacio Valero / Cecilia Tenreiro
· · ·

Our LUMINIC EMERGENCY TEAM has one mission: to collaboratively build a story with light about memory and to represent it in two historical and motivating contexts of Colonia. Our tools are anything that has or emits light. Our way of working is experimentation and we need to have fun. Our contribution is an ephemeral performance that offers the story built by all with light. Our legacy is the performance record, a history of the story, a new memory about the story of the memories.

Coordination: Ignacio Valero
Dr.Architect by training, lighting designer by passion, and also for many years a lighting teacher by vocation. As a designer, he has worked with many of the great Spanish architects on projects of all kinds and scales in the last 25 years. Committed to the design “with sense” understands that light is only a mean, our mean, a privileged mean of course, to activate a lot of positive responses in people: responses from emotion, from health and well-being, from the benefits, and from the communication.

Contributor: Cecilia Tenreiro
She has lived for years with the architecture faculty of Montevideo, while studying and working in environmental studies. Graduated from the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism of the University of the Republic of Uruguay in 2012.
With a deep interest in lighting, he travels to Madrid to specialize in the design of architectural lighting in “Masterdia” Master 2015 at the Polytechnic University of Madrid.  She currently works in the Ignacio Valero Lighting Design Studio.
Her passion for design, the inheritance of what she has acquired, the need to materialize, make her reflect in lighting design both aspects of her training and her sensitivity and intuition.

Led Attack
Rafael Leao, Ricardo Hofstadter, Nicolás Rebosio
· · ·

How many times did the final result turn out differently than originally planned? We will present and discuss project solutions with the use of LEDs that end up being different from the initial intention: faults, surprises and adjustments made in different applications of this technology so that we can use it better in future projects.
