The respected online lighting-design portal migrates to www.architonic.com
For over a decade, the Fondazione Targetti's Lighting Academy has been a pioneering beacon in the world of lighting design. Functioning both as an online reference resource for lighting professionals and as a much-needed champion of lighting design in general, helping to raise its profile as an autonomous creative profession, the portal has managed not only to develop a directory of some of the most ambitious and memorable lighting projects around, but also to establish an international community of lighting enthusiasts.
