Podcast with Marilyne Andersen in "Register Architecture & Landscape"
Space at Kingston School of Art - 2023 M. Andersen
Prof. Marilyne Andersen has been invited by Kingston University London to talk about her career, work and interests around the topic of daylight. The podcast explores a wide range of her early and current work as well as the strategies she deployed when managing the ENAC School as Dean.
Marilyne is a physicst by training, but this choice was made after some hesitation with architecture. Her research journey has allowed her to bring both interests together by focusing on daylight, first by setting up the Daylighting Lab at MIT in 2004 and later the LIPID Lab at EPFL in 2010. The daylight topic allowed her to connect her work very strongly to other scientific disciplines like optics, neuroscience, computational engineering and psychophysics but also to art and design. She currently focuses most of her research activities on the psycho-physiological effects of (day)light on building occupants, while also conducting some broader projects on sustainability in the built environment.
