"Light" is an important element in the creation of a space or an environment. It is sensitive and interesting and sometimes feels connected to the spirituality. Light and Space, are usually very much bonded together and dependent to each other.

Alberto Sanseverino
Alberto Sanseverino is a creative director and scenic designer from Italy with extensive professional experiences worldwide.
Theatre and architecture have influenced each other since the very beginning. The scene that originally followed architectural rules of functionality becomes an independent discipline and scenic designers create new ways of designing space, inspiring future generations of architects and designers from the 60's to contemporary architecture. Scenic space, initially conceived for the theatre, also finds new ways to express itself- music, performance, architecture, lighting, fashion and lifestyle.

Design: Inspiration principles and reality
Lecturer:
Marco de la Torre MDRO INTERNATIONAL Architects
As we went to the university we learned and were taught a variety of tools to exercise our profession later. We were eager to get all what we can and learn from the masters of architecture. We pursuit different ways to get our inspiration: nature, city, art, literature, movies and so on.
Combining all our inspiration elements we designed and fulfill our task every time searching for the best possible solution, but it was an ideal world our customer and client were our teachers also architects.
The real task came when we started to work and face the reality which is much more complex as we thought and as what we have learned. Many other factors play a role starting with our clients, which very seldom are architects selves and of courses with real regulations, city requirements budget and more.
The topic of this speech is a short presentation of this process and how we face design with reality.
