iLibriGuzzini

Light is not only used to read: it can also be read.
ilibriGuzzini is a collection of books published under the supervision of the iGuzzini Study and Research Centre to investigate the various aspects of light, from physical nature to perception.

Light illuminates the world and shows it to us.
We can say that vision, and therefore light, determines the relation with the environment. And the relation with the environment is the first goal of lighting planning.

With this publishing activity the iGuzzini Study and Research Centre intends to contribute to the cultural debate on light, knowing that lighting planning plays a crucial role in working activities, culture, art and relationships between individuals.

Lights of France in the Spaces of Art
Edited by Anty Pansera

Volume VI of the iGuzzini series, published in September by Domus and edited by Anty Pansera, covers projects realised in France, in galleries and museums, by Gae Aulenti, with lighting design input by Piero Castiglioni, and by Jean Michel Wilmotte.
After an introduction which analyses the evolution of exhibition venues over the last century, and how lighting has changed in response to these changes, the book moves on to present the projects realised: Grand Louvre, Musèe des Arts Premiers, Scuderie del Quirinale, and the new Beaubourg. There are also pages of interviews with the same architects.
