Guest speaker Niko Gentile is associate senior lecturer at the Department of Architecture and Building Environment at Lund University, where he mainly collaborates with the Energy and Building Design and the Environmental Psychology groups. In the last eight years, he has been working on topics related to the integration of daylight and electric lighting, aiming at healthier and more efficient lighting systems. Our species has evolved under daylight for many thousands of years, but since the Industrial Revolution we have begun to live longer indoor. Today we spend about ninety percent of our life inside buildings. How does this new habit impact on our psychological and physiological well-being? And how are more sensitive groups, such as school kids, affected by this change? Niko's research includes the analysis of psychological and physiological effects of lighting on school children, a subject that has been scrutinized by the Environmental Psychology group of Lund University for more than thirty years. His presentation will provide an historical overview on the evolution of lighting in schools, from the first lighting standards up to the most recent findings on circadian rhythms and impact on school performance.

Veronica Larsson spent many years on the international modelling circuit but writing has always been a part of the journey. Her passion for food and ambition of producing a cookbook was a longtime dream. Determined to have her book published in Sweden – the highest cookbook producing country per capita in the world – she needed a unique perspective to stand out. After finishing a Publishing Business education in Lund, Veronica practiced what she learned and created the Rubin publishing company. Her cookbook “Adrian’s skafferi/Adrian’s kitchen”, surprised people because of the stereotypes attached to models. In 2014 the book was awarded “Cookbook of the year” in its category. In August of this year, she published with “Hjärtan på tråd/Hearts on a thread.” The book is based on her own experiences after she lost her mother and father. Her latest project is writing an original series for Egmont Publishing house based on her modelling career and is due to be released this year. |
