What influences does light have on safety and night-time activities? This event addresses those questions through a presentation by Isabelle Corten, lighting designer and expert, and a nocturnal walk led by the Stalker Collective/Osservatorio Nomade, through the city of Lausanne.

Designers' Saturday Langenthal

Looslab explores the role of night culture in the construction of contemporary interior spaces and their associated media. The project is an illusion: originally modelled after Adolf Loos’ American Bar, it seeks to reflect upon the re-samplings and manipulations of the original scheme by modifying the articulation between image, space, and materiality.
