Driven by a deep fascination for the dialogue between light, space, and the people who inhabit it, Joris Van Olmen has been shaping luminous experiences since 1995. As the founder of Nomaled, a Belgian lighting brand dedicated to craftsmanship and emotion, he explores how light can go far beyond function, becoming a medium for atmosphere, health, and well-being.
In this Lab session, Joris will explain the four basic steps required to create outstanding lighting. Using clear examples of completed projects, he will demonstrate how light can enhance architecture and shape the desired atmosphere. Step by step, he reveals how a thoughtful lighting strategy creates harmony between architecture, the environment, and the people who inhabit the space.
Through his approach, Joris invites us to see light as a material that connects, one that influences perception, mood, and the emotional resonance of architecture.
