Designing healthy daylit spaces: the intersection between research and practice

Описание: Keynote speech held by Dr Siobhan Rockcastle, Baker Lighting Lab, University of Oregon, USA & Hans Fischer Fellow at TUM-IAS, Germany

It was part of the Daylight Academy (DLA) Annual Conference on 22-23 May 2025 at the Institute for Advanced Study of the Technical University of Munich (TUM-IAS) under the theme 'Daylight Matters – Turning Knowledge into Change'.

This year’s conference aimed to explore how scientific knowledge about daylight can be translated into meaningful action. Together, participants identified key messages, target audiences, and effective communication activities to address knowledge-action gaps. Where is there a lack of evidence? Where do we already have sufficient knowledge, but it fails to reach the right audiences or drive change? Join us in developing strategies for integrating daylight into practices that benefit humans and nature. The role of transdisciplinary research in bridging disciplines and involving stakeholders remained a central theme.

The first day (22 May) was moderated by Prof. Christoph Küffer, Landscape Architecture School in Rapperswil, OST Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland
