The workshop titled ReThink Daylight is an international platform for meeting architects interested in daylight. Here, they can experimentally rediscover the potential of daylight in collaboration with other architects and daylight experts. This is not only within the framework of theoretical examples but also on their current projects. The ReThink Daylight workshop will now also take place in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The workshop dates are: December 6, 2017 Košice, December 12, 2017 Prague, and December 13, 2017 Brno.
The workshop will provide participants with inspiration, space for discussion, and advice on how to best utilize natural daylight in any type of building. It will also include experiments using building models in a light simulator, which will help discover the benefits of daylight. Real projects will serve as a basis for modeling. This allows architects to develop their current project on-site – in a creative environment and with the support of two experienced tutors.
