Do you want to push beyond the boundaries of traditional lighting approaches and explore new ways of using light and lighting?
Course content
In a situation where innovation is an imperative, some try it, and a few succeed. What do we need to know, what do we need to do and how do we implement, to really change something? And when do we really need to innovate? What is the difference in result-oriented work, and process-oriented work?
