Hello VLDers! 👋 We’re excited to share a thought-provoking conversation between Rogier van der Heide, keynote speaker at Lux Futurum Year 3, and VLDC co-founder Martin Klaasen. Their topic? AI and the future of lighting design. 💡 As new tools make parts of our work faster and more accessible, Rogier asks us to think about what designers bring to the process: judgment, experience, creativity and the ability to see possibilities in a space. It’s a conversation that matters to all of us as we explore how our profession is changing. 👉 Where is AI helping you in your work? 👉 Which decisions will always need your own eye and experience? Join VLD.community as a free member to watch their full one-hour conversation. Then come back and tell us what you think! 👇 VLDC Team: @klaasenlightingdesign | @lightingrnd | @archifos | @candelas_tales #VLDCommunity #VLDC #LuxFuturum #LightingDesign #AIandLighting by @vld.community
