Archiproducts Milano hosts ReThink Daylight, a workshop on natural lighting runned by VELUX
ReThink Daylight is a workshop dedicated to those architects who believe in the value of natural light when planning a space. This workshop is an opportunity to forget computers for two days and work with hands again, to build models and test them into a daylight simulator.
Participants are invited to bring a project to work on during the workshop, for discussing it with the group supported by two experienced tutors.
