In this speaking engagement at JDC Design Week 2024 on 23 April 2024, Herwin Gunawan discusses “Sustainable Lighting for the Future,” sharing ideas, concepts, and experience across five dimensions of lighting design.

The discussion considers sustainability through environmental responsibility, human needs, and the cultural context of the spaces we illuminate. Its five themes are:

• Carbon reduction: considering lighting design’s contribution to reducing carbon emissions.

• Lighting and daylight integration: bringing electric lighting and natural light into a coordinated design approach.

• Physical and mental well-being: considering how lighting can support people’s health and everyday experience.

• Equity and inclusion: addressing diverse user needs through lighting design.

• Nature, culture, and heritage: considering lighting’s role in preserving natural environments, cultural identity, and historic places.

For architects, interior designers, lighting designers, and building owners, the session offers a framework for discussing sustainable lighting from several connected perspectives.

Part of the Herwin Gunawan Work speaking engagement video library, this recording documents his contribution to the conversation on lighting, sustainability, and human-centered design.
